Answer:
Amount saved by Jack = $4.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of the toy Jack wants to buy = $15.99
Percentage of total cost Jack saves = 30%
We need to find the amount Jacks saves on the total cost.
In order to find the amount saved by Jack on the total cost, we will find 30% of the total cost.
Amount saved by Jack = [tex]30\%\ of\ total\ cost[/tex]
⇒ [tex]30\%\ of\ 15.99[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{30}{100}\times 15.99[/tex] [representing percent as fractions]
⇒ [tex]\frac{479.7}{100}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\$4.797\approx \$4.8[/tex]
So, amount saved by Jack = $4.8 (Answer)
