An outlet store had monthly sales of $51,000 and spent 20% of it on promotions. How much was spend on promotions?

Jackie/Jacqueline -- how do you think this problem can be solved?

you divide $51,000 by 20% ?

My goodness -- that gives us $255,000. That cannot be right.

Please try again. Hint: see the last problem I answered for you.

okay I know you multiply? since it wants to know how much spend on promotions

Yes.

10200

Right. $10,200
