First write the relationship in words: "What number is 35% of 400?"
Then write an equation to represent this relationship: [tex] x = 35\% \times 400[/tex] or, written another way [tex] x = 0.35\times400[/tex]
And then solve:
[tex]x=0.35\times400=140[/tex]
Then answer the question: "Adam has saved $140."
