Question

Stella set up a business washing cars. She earned $80 in March. She is projected to earn 130% more in April. How much is Stella projected to make in April?

$104
$184
$210
$234

Answer 1

so, if we take that $80 is the 100%
how much is 130% MORE than that then?

well... 100% + 130% is 230%
so we know that $80 is 100%
what's 230% of 80?
\(\begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%
\\\hline\\
80&100\\
x&230
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{80}{x}=\cfrac{100}{230}\)

Answer 2

184?
