Question

You have $250. You spend 45% of that. Which statement is true? A. You have a little more than half of the money left. B. You have $205 left. C. You have a little less than half of the money left.​

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. You have $205 left.

To calculate the amount of money you have left after spending 45% of $250, you calculate 45% of $250:

- Multiply $250 by 45% (0.45): $250 x 0.45 = $112.50

You then subtract the amount you spent from the original amount:

- $250 - $112.50 = $137.50

Therefore, you have $137.50 left after spending 45% of $250.

The other options given aren't correct, because option A says you have a little more than half the money left, which is not true since you have less. Option C says you have a little less than half the money left, which is also not true. The correct statement is B, which says you have $205 left.
