Question

If noah had 5 dollars and diego has 150% as noah how much does Diego.

Answer 1

$7.5

Explanation:

There are two ways to solve this:

1) First, write the equation:

150% of 5

Then calculate:

`(150)/(100) *5`

Finally, simplify 1 zero with the 0 in 15:

1.5 * 5

= $7.5

2) For the second way, because 150 is more than over 100 (percent), you deduct 150 and 100:

150 - 100 = 50

Then find 50% of 50:

`(50)/(100) *5`

Then cancel 1 zero in 100 with the zero in 50:

0.5 * 5

= 2.5

Finally, add the product with the original amount of Noah:

5 + 2.5

= $7.5

Answer 2

Answer: 7.5

Step-by-step explanation: Because Noah has five dollars, 100% of 5 is 5, and 50% of 5 is 2.5 so Diego has 7.5 dollars.
