Answer:.53

Step-by-step explanation: Of Kylies $550, 32% was for a down payment for summer camp. This is calculated with the formula 550 x. 32 = $176 down payment.

She used 3/20 for two video games. 3/20 =.15, so the video games cost. 15 x $550 = $82.50.

Kylie spent $176 + $82.50 = $258.50.

$550 savings - $258.50 = $291.50 is the amount that she put into her savings account. Expressed as as decimal, it is 291.50/550 =.53, so she put. 53 of her babysitting money into her college savings account.
