Answer:

25%

Explanation:

so Mr. Lopez spent 40% + 35% teaching spelling and meaning, k?

40%+35%=75%, and because 100% is one whole, you do 100%-75% which get you to 25%.

Hope that helps!

Hello there! Here is the answer to your question, and I hope I can help you!

The answer is: 25%

I got this by adding 40+35 for the percentages given. That would equal 75. 100-75 is 25! Equaling 25%.

Have a great day!
