Lizzy: Chad saves 40% of the money he earns/receives in a year. This year, he made $600 mowing yards and received $250.00 for his birthday/holidays. He also made $150.00 by selling some old video games and another $150.00 doing odd jobs. How much will he save?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:

He made $600.00 mowing yards, $250.00 for his birthday, $150.00 selling items and $150.00 doing odd jobs so he made 600 + 250 + 150 + 150 = $1,150.00. He made $1,150.00 and will save 40% so he saves 1150 * .40 = $460.00. Final answer: 460.
