Dawn earns 48,000 a year in 12 equal monthly payments. Each month, she saves 10% of her salary. How much does she save each month? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Dawn earns $4,000 a month because 48,000 / 12 = 4000. She saves $400 a month because 4,000 x .1 = 400.
Therefore, the answer is 400.
