Question

Benito saves $6 out of every $20 he earns. He earned $90 one month. How much did he save?

Answer 1

He saves $6 out of every $20 - 90/20 = 4.5
And 4.5 x 6 = 27

Answer 2

Set up a proportion:

6/20 = x/90

Meaning 6 saved over 20 and x saved over 90

Cross multiply

540 = 20x

x = 27

He saved $27
