0. She wants to buy 65 swimming lessons that cost $30 each. What percentage of the total cost of the lessons does Phoebe have? Round the answer to 1 decimal place.

2. Solution Steps

First, calculate the total cost of the swimming lessons.

Total cost = Number of lessons * Cost per lesson

Total cost = $65 * 30 = 1950$

Next, determine what percentage of the total cost Phoebe has.

Percentage = (Amount Phoebe has / Total cost) * 100

Percentage = $(1400 / 1950) * 100$

Now, calculate the percentage.

Percentage = $0.7179487 * 100 = 71.79487$

Finally, round the percentage to 1 decimal place.

Rounded percentage = $71.8$

3. Final Answer

71.8%
