Question
Abdel just got a job babysitting his neighbors 3 afternoons a week. He wants to save 60% of his earnings each week. If he will make $90 a week, how much will he be saving each week? DO NOT include the $ symbol in your answer.
To find out how much Abdel will be saving each week, we need to calculate 60% of his earnings.
60% of $90 can be found by multiplying $90 by 0.6:
0.6 * $90 = $<<0.6*90=54>>54
Therefore, Abdel will be saving $54 each week.
To calculate how much Abdel will be saving each week, we need to find 60% of his earnings.
Step 1: Calculate the amount to save
60% of $90 can be calculated by multiplying the earnings ($90) by the percentage as a decimal (60% = 0.60).
Saving = $90 * 0.60
Step 2: Calculate the savings
To find the savings amount, we multiply the earnings by the percentage:
Saving = $90 * 0.60 = $54
Therefore, Abdel will be saving $54 each week.
To find out how much Abdel will be saving each week, we need to calculate 60% of his earnings.
First, we convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing 60 by 100:
60 / 100 = 0.6
Next, we multiply the decimal by Abdel's earnings:
0.6 * 90 = 54
Therefore, Abdel will be saving $54 each week.
