Question

gabriel saves 40% of his monthly paycheck for collage. he earned $270 last month.how much money did gabriel save for collage

Answer 1

The best thing to do is to find 10%, and you can do this by dividing $270 by 10, and therefore, $27 is equal to 10%. To find 40%, you've got to multiply $27 by 4, and this gives you $108. Therefore, gabriel saved $108 last month :)
