The amount of money Leah saves is $33.
Given that
Leah is saving money to buy her sister a graduation gift.
She needs 44$, and she has saved 25% of this amount so far.
We have to determine
How much more money must Leah save?
According to the question
Let the amount she saved for the gift be x,
And the amount of money Leah saves be (40-x)
She needs 44$, and she has saved 25% of this amount so far.
Then,
The amount of money Leah saves = The amount she needs × The amount she saved.
[tex]\rm x = 44 \times \dfrac{25}{100}\\\\x = 44 \times 0.25\\\\x = 11[/tex]
Therefore,
The amount of money Leah saves is,
[tex]= 44-11\\\\= 33[/tex]
Hence, the amount of money Leah saves is $33.
