Question

Roger's Cafe has usual daily earnings of $800. Today, the cafe earned 120% of the usual daily earnings. How much did they earn today

Answer 1

Answer:

960

Step-by-step explanation:

Over here, I'm going to do it in two ways, and either way works, one is just easier to do out:

1st way:

You can represent the percent 120 as a decimal which is 1.20, then you do 800*1.2.

2nd way:

You can use benchmark percents. You find 10 percent of 800 which is 80 and multiply 80 by 2 to get 160, so 20% is 160 dollars. Then you add 160 to 800 (800+160) and get 960.

Please tell me if you have any questions.
