Question

Maria and Connor are doing yard work for a neighbor. They make a total of $595.54. Since Connor works more hours than Maria, Connor gets 69% of the money. About how much (in whole

dollars) does Connor make?
Connor makes about

Answer 1

Answer: Since Connor gets 69% of the money, Maria gets the remaining 31%:

100% - 69% = 31%

Let's first find out how much money Maria makes:

Maria's share = 31% of $595.54

Maria's share = 0.31 x $595.54

Maria's share = $184.61

Now, to find out how much Connor makes, we can subtract Maria's share from the total:

Connor's share = Total - Maria's share

Connor's share = $595.54 - $184.61

Connor's share = $410.93

Therefore, Connor makes about $410.93 (rounded to the nearest dollar).
