Question

Shanice is saving to buy a new jacket that cost $52. She has saved 45% of the money that she needs. How much more money does she need to save?

Answer 1

She needs to save $28.60. $52 x 0.55 = $28.60, and $52 x 0.45 = $23.40, so she needs to save up $28.60 more than the $23.40 she has already saved

Answer 2

She needs to save $23.40

Explanation:

45 x 52 = 2,340 / 100 = 23.4
