Answer:

20% of the money was saved from January.

Here is the way to find percentage.

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number

Then:  divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.

Hi there! :)

Answer:

20% of the money she saved last year was saved during the month of January.


Step-by-step explanation:

Marie saved $3,000 last year.

She saved $600 in the month of January.

SO, Marie saved:  [tex]\frac{600}{3,000}[/tex]


In order to answer your question, you'll need to use the cross product method (because you want to have a percentage, which is on 100 and not on 3,000 like we have right now):

[tex]\frac{600}{3,000} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]


(100 × 600) ÷ 3,000 = x

60,000 ÷ 3,000 = x

20 = x


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
