Complete Question with table is attached

Answer:

Miguel will save money of $90 if he earns $120.00

Explanation:

The figure attached clearly shows the ratio of his earnings and savings. We have to find what would be the savings amount if he earn $120.00. So, first we have to calculate the percentage of ratio of his earnings and savings. As per the data given in the figure,

If he earns $10.00, he saves $7.50, calculate %amount he saves as below,


(\$ 7.50)/(\$ 10.00) * 100=0.075 * 100=75 \%

Likewise, calculate for all given data. If he earns $50.00 then he saves $37.50


(\$ 37.50)/(\$ 50.00) * 100=0.75 * 100=75 \%

If he earns $150.00 and save $112.50,


(\$ 112.50)/(\$ 150.00) * 100=0.75 * 100=75 \%

So, from all above, it clearly tells that Miguel saves 75% of amount from his earnings. Now, given earnings as $120.00. By finding 75% of $120.00, we can find his savings in that amount. So,


(75)/(100) * \$ 120=0.75 * 120=\$ 90
