Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new bike costs 180 dollars

Parents paid 40%

what is a percentage? per cent= divide by 100

parents paid 180 *40/100=180*0.4=72 dollars

Jennifer has to pay the rest

180-72=108

Answer:

$108

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to start by finding 40% of 180. When something says "of", you multiply! To make 40% in the correct format, move the decimal over to the right by two spaces, which leaves you with .40. As I said "of" means multiply, so you do .40 x 180, which = $72. This is the amount her parents paid, so you much subtract this from the total amount to find out what Jennifer paid. You do 180-72=$108. Jennifer paid $108!
