Artie needs to save $450 to buy the new bicycle that he wants. he currently has $300. what percent of the cost of a new bicycle has he saved? claire decides that to solve this problem by setting up a proportion. what should her proportion look like? a) 300 100 = x 450 b) x 100 = 300 450 c) x 100 = 450 300 d) 450 100 = x 300

If you would like to know what percent of the cost of a new bicycle has Artie saved, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $450 is $300
x% * 450 = 300
x/100 * 450 = 300      /*100/450
x = 300 * 100 / 450
x = 66.67%

The correct result would be 66.67%.

If you would like to know what should Claire's proportion look like, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x/100 * 450 = 300      /*100
x * 450 = 300 * 100

The correct result would be A) 300 * 100 = x * 450.

The answer would be the second choice : )
