Question

Tyrone saved 24$ of the 60 that he earned mowing lawns .what percent of his earnings did tyrone save

Answer 1

If 24 of the 60 were saved then the percent saved is

(24/60) x 100

Let's imagine for a second that all 60 was saved, then 100% of the money would be saved. Which makes sense, because

(60/60) x 100 = 100%

So the amount saved dived by the amount earned all times 100 is the percent saved.
