Scott earned $120 babysitting. he saved 45% of his money. use mental math to find how much he saved.

Scott saved $54

The simple way to do is to find the 45% of the total money and that is what Scott has saved

So

45% of $120 would be = (45 / 100) * 120

45% of $120 would be = 54

So he saved $54 and he has $66 with him now

Step-by-step

Question requests use of mental math.

When calculating 45%, we use the fact that 45% is 90% of 50%, or

45% can be obtained by subtracting 1/10th of half the amount.

Thus 45% of $120 is obtained by

subtracting 1/10th of half of $120, which is

subtract 1/10th of $60

which in turn gives 60-6  =  $54.

no calculator is required.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)
