Jeremy wants to buy a pair of sneakers. The cost of the sneakers is $150. He knows he has to save his money. He currently has $50. What percent does he have of the cost? How much more does he need? What percent would it be I if he had $40?



Answer :

Answer: 33.33%. $100. 26.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

   To find what percentage he has of the cost, we can divide what he has by the total amount and multiply by 100.

       (50/150)*100 ≈ 33.33%

   To find how much more he needs, we will use subtraction.

       What he needs - What he has = $140 - $40 = $100

   We will use the same steps as before. To find what percentage he would have of the cost if he had $40, we can divide what he has by the total amount and multiply by 100.

       (40/150)*100 ≈ 26.67%
