Question

Sabah is saving money to buy a new bicycle.so far, she has saved $45, which is 60% of the money she needs to buy the bicycle.would she be able to buy the bicycle if her saving reach $80?explain how you know.

Answer 1

so 45=80%
percent means parts out of 100
89%=80/100=8/10=4/5
45=4/5 of total
multipl both sides by 5/4 to clear fraction
225/4=total
56.25=total
80 is more than 56.25 so she will have enough if her savings reaches 80
