Question

8. For every $20 Kevin earns, his parents require him to save $5. What percent of her
money does he get to spend?

Answer 1

75% is the amount of money he can spend and the £5 is the 25% he has to save up .

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$ or $75%$%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets break down this question to make it easier to solve for:

For every $20 Kevin earns, $5 is saved

This leaves $15 to be spent

$20 can be broken down into 4 sets of $5 as

$5*4 = 20$

With that said, Kevin only saves one set of $5, leaving 3 sets to be spent.

Out of the 4 sets of $5, 3 are spent, meaning:

$20-5=15\\\frac{15}{20} /5 = \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{3}{4} = 75$%
