Marie saved $3,000 dollars last year. she saved $600 in the month of january. what percent of the money she saved last year was saved during the month of january?

Hi there! :)

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:  

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):

(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! :)
