Question

Ricardo as $25 to spend on school supplies. he spends 72% of the money on a backpack an the rest on a large binder. how much does he spend on the backpack? how much does he on the binder?

Answer 1

so, the 75% of 25 is 18.75 , so he spent that on backpack.
and for binder, 100% - 75%, he spent 25 % on binder, and the 25% of 25 is 6.25
so $18.75 for backpack and $6.25 for binder
