Van sold his skateboard for $54. He saves %15 of the money to purchase a new skateboard. How much does Van save for the new skateboard?

$8.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the initial value ($54) and multiply it by 15% by turning 15%into a decimal.

15% --> .15 (divide by 100 and remove the %)

54 × .15 = 8.1 or $8.10

The question is not complete, fortunately, I found a match:

Tran planned a rectangular pool and made a scale drawing using centimeters as the unit of measurement. he originally planned for the length of the pool to be 40 m but decided to change it to 32 m. if the length of the pool in his scale drawing is 8 cm, which statement about the change of scale is true?

one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.

one cm represented 40 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 32 m in the second scale.

one cm represented 1 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 ft in the second scale.

one cm represented 4 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 5 m in the second scale.

one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the scaling factor, we will divide the actual figure by the figure in the scale.

Before the change: 8cm in the drawing represents 40m

8cm ≡ 40m

∴ 1cm ≡ 40 ÷ 8 = 5m

∴ 1 cm represents 5m

After the change: 8cm in the drawing represents 32m

8cm ≡ 32m

∴ 1cm ≡ 32 ÷ 8 = 4

∴ 1cm represents 4m

Therefore, one cm represented 5 m in the first scale, but now 1 cm represents 4 m in the second scale.
