Question

Om has saved $33.00. This amount is 55% of his savings goal. How much money does Om have left to save to reach his savings goal?

Answer 1

Hey, I’ve got that he needs to save $27.00 to reach his savings goal since $60.00 is 100%.

Answer 2

$27.00

Explanation:

Let's denote Om's savings goal as
`\sf x`. According to the given information, Om has saved $33.00, which is 55% of his savings goal. We can set up the following equation:

`\sf 0.55 * x = 33`

Now, solve for
`\sf x`:

`\sf x = (33)/(0.55)`

`\sf x \approx 60`

So, Om's savings goal is $60.00. Now, to find out how much money Om has left to save to reach his savings goal, subtract his current savings from the goal:

`\sf \textsf{Amount left to save} = \textsf{Savings goal} - \textsf{Current savings}`

`\sf \textsf{Amount left to save} = 60 - 33`

`\sf \textsf{Amount left to save} = 27`

Therefore, Om has $27.00 left to save to reach his savings goal.
