Question

Jacky spent 53% of all her money to buy a computer game. How much did the game cost, if Jacky had $120 before buying the game?

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

She had $120 and spent 53% of it

Find 53% of 120

53% = 0.53

0.53 × 120 = 63.6 = $63.60

The game costs $63.60

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

She spent 53% of the 120 bucks, what is 53% of 120?  well, is just (53/100) * 120.
