B. 432.00
C. 864.00

Answer 1

The answer is c). $864.00 
To get this answer you find out what one-fifth of 180 is. It is 36 dollars, but the question asks for two-fifths which is 72 dollars. Then you multiply 72 times 12, for the 12 weeks. Your final answer is $864 dollars!

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Hello!

Let's do this step by step!

#1:

Divide his approximate earnings per week by 5, and then multiply that by 2 to find 2/5 of his earnings per week.

180 ÷ 5 = 36

36 × 2 = 72

#2:

Multiply this by 12 weeks to find the answer to your question!

72 × 12 = 864

ANSWER:

Vincent will have saved approximately C. $864.00 from his earnings at the end of 12 weeks.
