The question is asking to convert a percentage to a fraction. To do this, you can multiply by 1/100, and get rid of the percent sign. This looks like this. 
. Now you can see that this is your fraction. Finally, you would need to simplify it, if you can, and we can in this case. To simplify it, if you divide the numerator by 10 and the denominator by 10, you can see we get 1/10. Therefore the woman saves 1/10 of her salary. Hope this helps.

So the picture below shows what the slant height is. It also shows that the pyramid can form a right triangle, in which we can use the pythagorean theorem, which is .
But first, we have to find the height of this pyramid. The volume formula for a square pyramid is . Since we know its a square pyramid, the length and width are going to be the same (12 ft), and we know that the volume is 432 ft^3. Using this info, we can solve for the height:
So now we can use the pythagorean theorem (remember to split the 12 by 2, since the right triangle has only half the length of the base). Our equation will be solved as such:
In short, the slant height is 10.8 ft.
