<em>Additional comment</em>
Many calculators and all spreadsheets can work with percentages directly. If yours can't, or if you can't do this arithmetic mentally, you can use the equivalent decimal or fraction for 5%.
5% = 5/100 = 0.05 = 1/20
Then 5% × $640 = $640/20 = $64/2 = $32.
The answer is 6 months because $1100 - $200 (which he already has) = $900. $900 divided by $150 (which he saves each month) = 6. So it took him 6 months to save up enough.
Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
We can model this question with:
9 = 0.04x
x represents "what number."
0.04x = 9.
Divide 0.04 from both sides
0.04x ÷ 0.04 = 9 ÷ 0.04
9 ÷ 0.04 = 225.
Therefore, 9 is 4% of 225.
