Question

Help.‼️ its rlly hard

Answer 1

Answers:

Rent = 750

Savings = 750

Groceries = 625 (you are correct)

Other = 375

========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert each percent to decimal form. You do this by moving the decimal point 2 spots to the left.

Rent has 30% turn into 0.30, which multiplies with 2500 to get 0.30*2500 = 750

For savings, the same multiplier is used because we also have 30% here as well. So the same amount is devoted to savings.

You have the correct answer for groceries. Multiply 0.25 with 2500 to get 625. Nice work on getting the correct answer here.

Finally, we have 15% devoted to other, so we multiply 0.15 by 2500 and we get 0.15*2500 = 375

As a check, we can add up the subtotals 750, 750, 625, 375 to get 750+750+625+375 = 2500 which helps us confirm our answers.

Answer 2

Rent: $750

Savings: $750

Groceries: $625

Other: $375

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the formula: Part/Whole = Percent/100

So for the first two, since they are the same, I did x for the part, 2,500 for the whole, 30 for the percent, and 100. Then I did 30 times 2,500 and I got 75,000. Next I did 75,000 divided by 100 and got 750.

For "Groceries", I did the same thing except used x for the part, 2,500 for the whole, 25 for the percent, and 100.

For "Other", I did the same thing except used x for the part, 2,500 for the whole, 15 for the percent, and 100.

HOPE THIS HELPS! :)
