Question

Liam wants to buy a bicycle that costs $290.00. His parents say Liam must raise 40% of the money himself. How much money must Liam raise?

Answer 1

40% without the "%" sign is 0.40 because you shift the decimal to the left 2 places. Now, just take that (0.40) and multiply it by the cost of the bike and you will have your answer.

Answer 2

Do you need help with multiplying 2 numbers that have decimal points in them or can you get the answer at this point?
