Question

The health benefits Bob receives from his employer cover 70% of the total monthly premium of $450.00. How much does Tom have to pay each month?

Answer 1

Find 30% of the $450.

Answer 2

315?

Answer 3

Show work because that is not close to 30% of 450.

Answer 4

I used this http://coolconversion.com/math/discount-calculator/what-is_30_%25-off_450_Dollars

Answer 5

Yeah that's a discount calculator so it's not relevant, and you should be able to find a percent of a number without any help of an online calculator...

30% is 30/100.

Find 30% of 450.

The word 'of' means multiply.

Answer 6

30*450=13500?

Answer 7

Re-read what I wrote, more carefully.

Answer 8

agents are always right

Answer 9

135?

Answer 10

Sounds about right.

Answer 11

So is that the answer sir?

Answer 12

If you showed your work, i'd tell you for sure.

You should absolutely not need an online calculator like the one you used earlier, to find a percentage...
