John's monthly salary is $7,000. If John deposits 0.75 of his paycheck into a savings account. How much
money does he put in his savings account every month?

B. $4,250
C. $5,250
D. $ 6,250 - CORRECT ANSWERS-The correct answer is (C). In order to find how much money he puts in

must be slightly larger than the result.
7,000×0.70=
