Question

Steve made $50 raking leaves and $75 mowing lawns. He gave 60% of his earnings to his mother. How much did Steve give to his mother?

Answer 1

Answer:

$75 Given to his mother

Step-by-step explanation:

Steve Total: $50 + $75 = $125

60% of $125 = (60/100) * $125

= (6/10) * $125

= $750/10

= $75

Answer 2

${\bf{\huge{\underline{\boxed{\red{\mathcal{Answer}}}}}}}$

Money earned by raking leaves = $50

Money earned by mowing lawns = $75

Total money earned = $(50+75)=> $125

Money given to mother = 60% of $125

Money given to mother = $\dfrac{60}{100}*125$

Money given to mother = $\dfrac{60}{4}*5$

Money given to mother = 15 * 5

Money given to mother = $75
