Question

Isaac earned $1,800 last month. He put $270 into savings. What percent of his earnings did Isaac put into his savings

Answer 1

Hi there!

In order to answer your question, you'll need to use the cross product method:

$\frac{270}{1,800} = \frac{x}{100}$

(100 × 270) ÷ 1,800 = X

27,000 ÷ 1,800 = X

15 = X

$\frac{15}{100}$ = 15%

Your answer is: Isaac put 15% of his earnings into his savings.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
