Question

) Tommy was dividing up his money amongst his friends. He

started out with 53 dollars. If he gave two of his friends 23%
and his other friend 12% how much money was Tommy left
with? Express the amount as a numeral value, not a
percentage.​

Answer 1

Tommy was left with $34.45.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Money Tommy has =
`\$53`

He gave for 2 friend =
`23\%`

Money gave by Tommy for 2 friends =
`(23*53)/(100)=\$12.19`

He gave other friend =
`12\%`

Money gave by Tommy to other friend =
`(12*53)/(100)=\$6.36`

We need to find the Money left with Tommy.

Money left can be calculated by Subtracting Money gave by Tommy for 2 friends and Money gave by Tommy to other friend by Total Money Tommy has.

Money left = Total Money Tommy has - Money gave by Tommy for 2 friends - Money gave by Tommy to other friend =
`\$53 -\$12.19-\$6.36=\$34.45`.

Hence, Tommy was left with $34.45.
