To calculate how much Abdel will be saving each week, we need to find 60% of his earnings.
Step 1: Calculate the savings:
60% of $80 = 0.60 * $80 = $48.
Therefore, Abdel will be saving $48 each week.
To calculate how much Abdel will be saving each week, we need to find 60% of his earnings.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100:
60% = 60/100 = 0.6
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by Abdel's earnings:
0.6 * $80 = $48
Therefore, Abdel will be saving $48 each week.
