Question

Emma is saving for a bicycle that cost $300. This month, she reaches 60% of her goal. Label inside the bar model to show her progress. How much money has she saved? Explain.

Answer 1

$180

Explanation:

To calculate how much money she has saved, we can use the following information:

-> She wants to save a total of $300.

-> She reached 60% of her goal this month, so she saved already 60% of the total.

Then, we just need to know how much is 60% of 300, as that's the value she already saved:

60% of 300 = 300 * 60/100 = 180

She saved $180.
