Question

Carey needs $45 to buy her mother a gift. She has saved 22% of that amount so far. How much more money does she need?

Answer 1

Answer: She needs $35.10

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Money needed :$45

Money saved : 22%

So, to calculate the amount of money saved we have to multiply the mone needed (45) by 0.22 (decimal form, 22/100=0.22)

45 x 0.22 = 9.9

Finally we subtract the result to the money needed.

45-9.9 =35.10

She needs $35.10

Answer 2

$35.10
22% = 0.22
45(0.22) = 9.90
She has saved $9.90
45 - 9.9 = 35.1
