Question

Kurt earned $550 over the summer. If he put 70% of his earnings into his savings, how much money did he have left over?

Answers:
$165
$70
$550
$385

Answer 1

$165

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find out what the remaining 30% of $550 is. To do that, we can multiply 550 by 30%.

First, change 30% into a decimal:

30% ->
`(30)/(100)` ->
`0.3`

Now, lets multiply:

`x=550(0.3)`

`x=165`

Your answer is $165.
