Question

Lee has saved 65% of the money she need to buy a pair of jeans that cost $48 how much money does lee have and how much more money does she need to buy the jeans?

Answer 1

16.80 is the total :)

Explanation:

Answer 2

First convert the percentage to a fraction by dividing it by 100.
65/100=.65

Then multiply that by 48
48·.65=31.20
Therefore Lee has saved $31.20 so far.

To figure out how much she needs left, subtract how much she has saved by how much it costs:
48-31.20=16.80
Therefore, she needs to save $16.80 more to be able to buy the pair of jeans.
