Your savings 20 bucks

Answer 2

Answer:

You will save $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

IMPORTANT FORMULA: TO CONVERT A NUMBER TO A PERCENT, YOU HAVE TO MULTIPLY BY 100. TO CONVERT A PERCENT TO A NUMBER, YOU HAVE TO DIVIDE BY 100.

1) Some percent of an amount is what?  

Using the formula above, I can conclude that 40% is equal to 40/100=4/10=2/5

2) Translate into an equation.

It is important to keep in mind that we are trying to find 40% of $50 in order to find out how much money will be saved.

In the above step, we already found that 40% = 2/5.

I also know that, in mathematics, the word "of" means multiplication.

Therefore, I am trying to find 40% of $50 is the same as 2/5 * $50.

2/5 * $50 = x    ------ (x represents the money saved)

3) Solve for variable.

$20 = x

4) Write a sentence to answer the question.

You will save $20.
