You're welcome.
To find the percentage of his earnings that Pete saved, you need to divide the amount he saved by the total amount earned and then multiply by 100.
Step 1: Calculate the amount saved as a decimal.
Amount saved = $24.00
Step 2: Calculate the total amount earned as a decimal.
Total amount earned = $60.00
Step 3: Divide the amount saved by the total amount earned.
Saving percentage = Amount saved / Total amount earned
Saving percentage = $24.00 / $60.00 = 0.4
Step 4: Multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
Saving percentage = 0.4 * 100 = 40%
Therefore, Pete saved 40% of his earnings.
