Ariana earned $425 babysitting over the summer. She put 40% of what she earned into her savings account.

How much money did Ariana put into her savings account?

Answer 1

170

Step-by-step explanation:
“Of” usually means multiplication:
425 x 40%
40% = 40/100 = 0.4
425 x 0.4
170

Answer 2

Answer:170

Step-by-step explanation:

$425 divided by 40% is 170

Solution:

What is 40% of 425?

Y is 40% of 425

Equation: Y = P% * X

Solving our equation for Y

Y = P% * X

Y = 40% * 425

Converting percent to decimal:

p = 40%/100 = 0.4

Y = 0.4 * 425

Y = 170
