Question

Captain John Smith earns $3,300 a month in the Air Force. If the Air Force puts 6% into his pension, how much goes into his pension monthly?

Answer 1

The amount that goes into his pension monthly is `$198.00`.

Explanation:

In order to determine how much the pension is per month, multiply his monthly salary by `6%` as a decimal.

Convert `6%` into a decimal.

`6%=6/100=0.06`

Multiply the captain's monthly salary by `0.06`. The result will be the amount of his pension.

`$3300.00xx0.06=$198.00`
