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 $80 a week, how much will he be saving each week?


A. $48


B. $13.33


C. $60


D. $36

Answer 1

To find out how much Abdel will be saving each week, we need to multiply his weekly earnings by the percentage he wants to save.

60% of $80 = 0.60 * $80 = $<<0.60*80=48>>48

Therefore, Abdel will be saving $48 each week.

Option A is the correct answer.
