:p.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ken makes a monthly income of $3000 after taxes, every month he spends. 40% of his income on clothing. How much money does ken spend on new clothes every month ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry for the wait my computer is acting up on my keyboards

OpenStudy (kamibug):

So you just need to find what is 40% of 3,000. Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Get your calculator, lol. When a number is a percentage, it is a percent over what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

.40 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply with 3000?

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then subtract that from 3000.

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Actually, she doesn't need to do that. The answer is just what she gets after multiplying because it says she spends 40 percent of 3000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I was used to getting how much was left. :P

OpenStudy (kamibug):

lol yeah
