Given:
Jeff has saved $500 to purchase some hockey equipment.
To find:
Can Jeff spend less than 60% of his savings on hockey gloves and a helmet?
Solution:
The costs of hockey gloves and a helmet as per internet search results are as follows:
The cost of hockey helmet ranges from $ 27 to $ 300.
The cost of hockey gloves is $ 30.
The total cost ranges from (30 + 27 = $ 57) to (30 + 300 = $ 330)
As Jeff has saved $ 500 to purchase some hockey equipment.
60 % of his savings is calculated as follows:
= 60 % × $ 500
= 60/100 × $ 500
= $ 300
less than 60% of Jeff's savings ⇒ < $ 300
So, Jeff can buy both the hockey gloves and a helmet, if he prefers to buy a cheap rated helmet.
