If paul pays the newspaper company 70% of what he collects, how much would he keep for himself in a month when he collected $450.00?
450 * 0.3 = ?
He gives away 70% so meaning he collects 30%
450.00x.30 = $ 135.00
To find out how much Paul would keep for himself, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount that Paul pays to the newspaper company.
The amount Paul pays to the newspaper company can be found by multiplying the collection amount by the percentage he pays:
Amount to pay = Collection amount * Percentage to pay
Amount to pay = $450.00 * 70%
Amount to pay = $450.00 * 0.70
Amount to pay = $315.00
Step 2: Calculate the amount Paul keeps for himself.
The amount Paul keeps for himself can be found by subtracting the amount he pays to the newspaper company from the collection amount:
Amount to keep = Collection amount - Amount to pay
Amount to keep = $450.00 - $315.00
Amount to keep = $135.00
Therefore, Paul would keep $135.00 for himself in a month when he collected $450.00.
To find out how much Paul would keep for himself, we need to calculate 30% of $450.00.
To do this calculation, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal. To convert 70% to a decimal, divide it by 100.
70% ÷ 100 = 0.70
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the amount collected.
0.70 x $450.00 = $315.00
Therefore, Paul would keep $315.00 for himself in a month when he collected $450.00.
