Question

Explain how to use friendly percents to find 35% of 80.

Maria just got a raise at work. She was making $9 per hour, but now she makes 150% of that amount.

Explain how you would find the amount of money Maria now makes per hour.

Answer 1

Convert 150% to 1.50. Multiply 9 by 1.50 and get 13.50. Maria makes $13.50 per hour.

Meh took it <3

Answer 2

in order to find 150% of something, you would add half of the value to itself. so for example, 150% of 9 would be 13.5 because 4.5 is half of 9 and 4.5 • 9 is 13.5. hope this helps!!
