Question

Paige needs your help! She wants to convince her grandmotherto let her sign up for a rock-climbing class. The class normally costs $50, but the school is offering a special prize of $34. Paige's grandmother wants to know what percent of the cost of the class she would save.

Answer 1

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello :D

34 ÷ 50 = 0.68

0.68 = 68%

Conclusion:

Paige's grandmother would save 68% of her money if she buys the classes for $34 dollars instead of $50

Checking our work...

50 · 0.68 = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dividing 34 by 50 instead of 50 by 34 for a reason. Since we want to figure out what percentage off the grandma is getting, we will have to figure out what percentage of 50 34 would be. 34 ÷ 50 also is represented by 34/50. Just like 1 is 50% of 2 (1/2), we want to figure out what 34 percent of 50 is (34/50)
