Question

Mike saves 20%of every paycheck.His paycheck last week was 1,500 . How much money did mike save from that paycheck

Answer 1

Hi there.

Note: use my methods but be careful about my calculations as I'm doing this in my head.

Convert 20% to a decimal & multiply.

1,500 • 0.2 = (use a calculator)

That'll be the amount Mike saves from this pay check.

I did in this my by going:

15/5 = 3

So, 20% of $1,500 is $300.

Hope this helps you understand better.

Answer 2

300 hundred dollars he would save every week
