Given the statement:
Stella set up a business washing cars. She earned $80 in March. She is projected to earn 130% more in April.
Determine the projected amount that Stella will make in April.
Solution:
To determine the amount, we must first convert the percentage to decimals, then multiply it by $80. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 130/100
= 1.3
= (1.3)($80)
= $104
Final answer:
Stella projected to earn $104.
