the salary does she save every month?

Please show how you got this

Answer 1

To find the percentage of Beth's salary that she saves every month, we need to divide the amount she saves by her monthly salary and then multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage.

The amount that Beth saves as a percentage of her salary is:

$579 / $3,860 * 100% = 14.99%

So, Beth saves approximately 14.99% of her monthly salary every month.

Answer 2

• 15%

-----------------------

Divide the amount she saves by her monthly salary and then multiply by 100% to get the percentage.

• $579 ÷ $3,860 = 0.15, then
• 0.15 x 100 = 15%

Beth saves 15% of her salary every month.
