Think part and whole. 80 over100 ?? over $65 cross multiply and divide. What did you get? Or do you need more help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80 x 100 = 8,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

she saved 52 dollars.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 80 }{ 100 } x \frac{ part you are looking for? }{ $65 }\] 65x80/100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80 x 65 is 5,200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup and divide that by 100 to get your answer in dollars
