Question

Yesenia is investing money in the stock market, in which she is looking at growth over the first month. She invested $300 and in the first month, earned 1.25% returns. How much money does she now have after the first month?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.25 because when in a calculator i add 1.25% i subtract 300 and that is all that is left.

Answer 2

Answer:

$3.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{300} = \frac{1.25\%}{100}$

$x \times 100 = 100x$

$300 \times 1.25 = 375$

$375 \div 100 = 3.75$
