Question

3) Mi. Toro saved up $500 from his salary to go on vacation. He wants to spend $220 of his savings on a ticket toDisneyland. What percent does his ticket to Disneyland cost? Use any strategy to show your work

Answer 1

Percent is given by th expression:

`\text{Total}\cdot\frac{\text{percent}}{100}=\text{Equivalent number to the percent}`

Then, we can substitute:

`\begin{gathered} 500\cdot(x)/(100)=220 \\ 500x=220\cdot100 \\ x=(22000)/(500) \\ x=44\text{ percent} \end{gathered}`

The ticket to Disneyland cost 44% of his savings
