Question

Sally's paycheck this week was $100. She spent $220.45 for a shirt, $12.95 for a CD, $15 for gasoline, and put the balance in the bank.
a. What percent of her total pay was spent on the shirt?
b. What percent of her total pay did she put in the bank?

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 220.45%

B) 0%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 220.45 / 100 = 2.2045 * 100 = 220.45%

B) Costs exceeded her paycheck, so 0% of her pay was leftover and put in the bank.

Answer 2

Answer: A) 22.045% , B) 75.16%

I guess its a typo and weekly salary was $1000

So weekly salary = 1000

Spent on shirt = $220.45

Spent on CD = $12.95

Spent on Gasoline = $15

A) 220.45/1000×100

= 22.045%

B) Total spent = 220.45 + 12.95 + 15

= $248.4

Total left with her = 1000 - 248.4

= $751.6

Total percent of pay she put in bank = 751.6/1000×100

= 75.16%
