I have $100. I spent $40 on a prize and $45 on food. How do I figure out what % is purchase is from the original amount I had?

You could say that you spent (purchased) 85% of the money that you had.

You spent a total of $85.

If you create the fraction 85/100, that is the same as saying you spent 85% of the money.
