QUICK I NEED HELP FAST

Melissa’s paycheck last week was $125.50. She would like to put 20% of her earnings in her savings
account. How much money should she put in her savings account?

Answer 1

$25.10. 20% of 125.50 is $25.10

Answer 2

$25.10

Explanation:

Melissa wants to put 20% OF the $125.50 she has.

"of" = multiplication

To convert 20% to a decimal to multiply, move the decimal point twice to the left.

So, you end up with...

0.20 x 125.50 = $25.10 to put in her savings account

hope this helped!!
