Question

Milli earns $7000 a month. She spends 56% of it, saves 30% of it, and donates the rest to charity. How much money does she donate to charity every year?

Answer 1

$\mathsf {56\% + 30\% = 86\%}$

$\mathsf {100\% - 86\% = 14\%}$

$\mathsf {\cancel\dfrac{7000}{100}\times 14}$

$\mathsf {980}$

Answer 2

$56\% + 30\% = 86\% \\ \\ 100\% - 86\% = 14\% \\ \\ = \frac{7,000}{100} \times 14 \\ \\ = 980$
