Question

Tyler is saving to buy a new videogame system. For every $15 he earns mowing lawns, he saves $9. On Saturday, Tyler earned $105 mowing lawns. How much money did he save?

Answer 1

$63

First, we find the percentage that he saves:

9 is 3/5 of 15 which is 60%, 9 is 60% of 15 which means he save 60% of the money that he earns so,

60% of 105 = 63

This means he saved $65 from the money he earned.
