He saved $ (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$78.72

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 30% of the original value, we need to turn this percentage into a decimal or a fraction and then multiply it by the original value

• 30% is equivalent to 0.30, $\frac{30}{100}$, and $\frac{3}{10}$
• So we can use either of these values. I will use 0.30 for simplicity

• ($262.40)(0.30) = $78.72 is the amount saved
