Question

1. Jason saves $15 for every $125 he earns. What percent of his earnings does Jason save?

2. If Jason earns $450 this week and saves at his usual rate, how much money will he deposit into his savings account?
Type your answer below:

Answer 1

12% and $54.

Explanation:

1. For us to know the percentage he is saving, we need to devide 15$/25$, which give us 0.12; multiply that by 100 to get the percent: 12%.

2. If he saves the same 12% percent and aerns $450, he will be saving:

$450*0.12=$54
