Question

16. Carlos puts 0.3 of his monthly income into savings. What percent of his money

Answer 1

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 0.3 into a percentage;

To do so, convert it 0.3 into a fraction then multiply by 100;

0.3 into a fraction = 3/10

3/10 into a percentage = $\frac{3}{10} *100$

The 10 at the bottom cancels out one zero at the top and you are left with 30.

Therefore percentage in Carlos' monthly savings is  = 30%

Next, calculate the percentage NOT put in savings

percentage NOT put in savings = 100% - percentage in savings;

That is ; 100% -30% =70%

Hence, 70% of his income is not put into savings.
