Question

Sally spent $36 and had $12 left. what percent of her money did she spend

Answer 1

33.33...%

Explanation:

Fast and easy method: Money left ÷ money had × 100

Divide 12 by 36:
`(12)/(36)`

Multiply to 100:
`(12)/(36)* (100)/(100)`

Simplify:
`(12)/(36)* \:1`

`(1)/(3)* \:1`

`(1)/(3)`

1/3 is 33.33... in decimal form.
