Question

Benito had 10 days of vacation. He spent 1/5 of his vacation fishing. He spent 30% of his vacation at soccer camp. He spent the rest of the time at the beach. What percent of his vacation did Benito spend at the beach?

Answer 1

If Benito had 10 days of vacation, then:

1/5 of this time is 20%
Soccer camp is 30%

10 days are 100%, so if he spent 20% of his time fishing and 30% at soccer camp, then he spent 50% at the beach:

100% - (20% + 30%) = 100% - 50% = 50%

Answer: Benito spend 50% of his vacation at the beach.
