Hey!


To find out if Jordan is correct or not, multiply 60% by 150. First change 60% to a decimal.


To change percents to decimals, remove the % sign and move the decimal point 2 places to the left.


[tex] 60 \% = 0.6 [/tex]


Now multiply


[tex] 0.6 \times 150 = 90 [/tex]


60% of 150 is 90


[tex] 90 \neq 80 [/tex]


That means Jordan is incorrect.


[tex] \framebox{Jordan is incorrect} [/tex]
