D: $170.50
Yes, you're right.
Jeb earns $8 per hour. He gets a raise of 3.5%. How much is his raise?
To find out how much money James must raise himself, you need to calculate 45% of the total cost of the video game system, which is $310.00.
To calculate the amount, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100.
45% = 45/100 = 0.45
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total cost of the video game system.
0.45 * $310.00 = $139.50
Therefore, James must raise $139.50 himself. So, the correct answer is option C: $139.50.
