week. He hopes to have enough money to purchase a new pair of shoes that cost $270 by the end of his
break. What percent of his net pay does Damaris need to save each week to reach his goal? Round to the

Answer 1

24.28%

Explanation

percent saved(p)/100 (net income)(weeks needed) = (total needed)

p/100 ($123.56)(9) = $270

p/100 (1112.04) = $270

1112.04p/100 = $270

p = 24.279%

p = 24.28%
