+38 Each week, Molly saves $16 of his $48 paycheck.
a. What percent of his pay does he save?
b. If Molly saves 15% of his $48 paycheck each week, what amount does he save?
+1975 for these questions you can do proportions
a. 16/48 = x/100 then you have to cross multiply
48x = 1600
x = 33.3 repeating or 33 1/3
x = 33.3% or 33 1/3%
he saves 33.3% or 33 1/3% of his pay
(33/3% or 33 1/3% is on what you or your teacher prefers)
b. x/48 = 15/100 then you have to cross multiply
100x = 720
x = 7.2
he saves $7.20
