To find out how much Abdel will be saving each week, we need to calculate 60% of his earnings.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100:
60% / 100 = 0.60
Step 2: Multiply his earnings by the decimal:
$80 * 0.60 = $<<80*0.60=48>>48
Therefore, Abdel will be saving $48 each week.
To determine how much Abdel will be saving each week, we need to find 60% of his earnings.
Since Abdel will be making $80 a week, we can calculate his savings by multiplying his earnings by 60% (or 0.60):
$80 * 0.60 = $48
Therefore, Abdel will be saving $48 each week.
