Jason has saved 41% of what he needs to buy a 73$ skateboard . Jason found out 50% of 70 is the same things as 70 divided by .50= 140. So he has more than enough to purchase the skateboard. Did he solve correctly

No, Jason did not solve correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason has saved 41% of what he needs to buy a 73$ skateboard.

Jason found out 50% of 70 is the same things as 70 divided by .50= 140. So he has more than enough to purchase the skateboard. Did he solve correctly

Let compare both statements

50% of 70 = 70 ÷ 0.5 (140)

50% × 70 = 140

50/100 × 70 = 140

35 ≠ 140

JASON DID NOT SOLVE CORRECTLY

This is because the left-hand side used the operation of multiplication while the right-hand side used the operation of division.

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7
