Well, Chris wants to buy a cell phone that costs $215.00. According to his parents, Chris must raise 35% of the money himself. So how much money must Chris raise? Let's do some math.
To find 35% of $215.00, we can multiply $215.00 by 0.35. That gives us $75.25.
Therefore, Chris must raise $75.25 himself. So the answer is b. $75.25.
Now, let's hope Chris doesn't try to raise the money by selling chicken coops to penguins because that might not go as planned. Penguins aren't really keen on that kind of real estate investment.
To find out how much money Chris must raise, we need to calculate 35% of the total cost of the cell phone.
35% of $215.00 can be found by multiplying $215.00 by 0.35:
$215.00 x 0.35 = $75.25
Therefore, Chris must raise $75.25 himself.
The correct answer is b. $75.25.
To find out how much money Chris must raise, we need to calculate 35% of the cost of the cell phone.
First, let's calculate 35% of $215.00:
35% = 35/100 = 0.35 (as a decimal)
35% of $215.00 = 0.35 * $215.00 = $75.25
So, Chris must raise $75.25 himself.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. $75.25.
