Question

Gabriel saves 40% of his monthly paycheck for college. He earned $270 last month. How much money did Gabriel save

Answer 1

The best thing to do is to find 10%, and you can do this by dividing $270 by 10, and therefore, $27 is equal to 10%. To find 40%, you've got to multiply $27 by 4, and this gives you $108. Therefore, gabriel saved $108 last month :)

Answer 2
