Question

I went to the store with $30. I spent 1/10 of it. How much money did I spend?

A-$3.00
B-$10.00
C-$3.50
D-$2.00

Answer 1

$3.00

Explanation:

$30 x (1/10) = $3.00

[Just another way to think about this - - - you spent $1 out of every $10. You had $30, which is 3 $10's. So For each $10, you spent $1, so for $30, you spent $3.00.]
