Question

Abeni received $50 for her birthday. She spent 30% of the money on a CD. Does she have enough money left to buy a computer game that costs $30 including tax? How do you know?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we have to solve 30% of $50.

30% = 0.3

To get 30% of $50, we have to multiply 50 by 0.3.

$50 x 0.3 = $15

She already spent $15.

$50 - $15 = $35

That means, she still has $35 and she has enough money left to buy a computer game that costs $30.
