OpenStudy (danjs):

do you know how to convert a percent into a decimal or a fraction

OpenStudy (danjs):

12% = 0.12 = 12/100

This year, with her Christmas bonus of 12% Lori has made $71,680! That is an increase of $7,680 from her usual salary of $64,000!

OpenStudy (danjs):

The bonus i assume is already included in the 64000

OpenStudy (danjs):

64000 * 0.12 = 7680 7680 of the 64000 was the bonus

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

is there an answer choice

OpenStudy (danjs):

She made 64000 total including the bonus,

OpenStudy (danjs):

12 percent of 64000 is 7680 Her salary was $56320 Her bonus was $7680 ----------------------- Total income $64000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no there is no answer choice

OpenStudy (danjs):

It says how much "WAS" her bonus. Meaning the bonus is included in the 64000. If it said, how much would the bonus be, then you would add it to the 64000.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i disagree kinda

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

how? i see what dan is trying to say

OpenStudy (danjs):

Either way, the point is to understand how to figure the percent of a number, as long as you get that , you understand the problem

jagr2713 (jagr2713):
