### Question 7: Kiran needs to save up [tex]$60 for a concert ticket. How much money does he have if he has saved the following percentages of his goal? Explain your reasoning. Kiran's goal amount is $[/tex]60. Let's find out how much money he has saved for each given percentage of his goal.
#### a. 25% of his goal:
To find 25% of his goal amount:
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:
[tex]\( 25\% = 0.25 \)[/tex]
2. Multiply the goal amount by this decimal:
[tex]\( 0.25 \times 60 = 15 \)[/tex]
So, if Kiran has saved 25% of his goal, he has saved [tex]$15. #### b. 75% of his goal: To find 75% of his goal amount: 1. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100: \( 75\% = 0.75 \) 2. Multiply the goal amount by this decimal: \( 0.75 \times 60 = 45 \) So, if Kiran has saved 75% of his goal, he has saved $[/tex]45.
#### c. 150% of his goal:
To find 150% of his goal amount:
1. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:
[tex]\( 150\% = 1.50 \)[/tex]
2. Multiply the goal amount by this decimal:
[tex]\( 1.50 \times 60 = 90 \)[/tex]
So, if Kiran has saved 150% of his goal, he has saved [tex]$90. By knowing Kiran's goal amount is $[/tex]60 and calculating the respective percentages, we derived the amounts [tex]$15, $[/tex]45, and $90 for 25%, 75%, and 150% of his goal, respectively.
