Question

My dad paid 72% of the cost of my shoes and I paid the rest. If my dad paid $54.18, what was the total cost of my shoes?

Answer 1

$93.19

Explanation:

54.18 x .72 = 39.0096 [Round] 39.01

54.18+39.01=93.19

Total cost of your shoes is $93.19

Answer 2

$93.19

Explanation:

first we have to identify 72% as a decimal

72/100=0.72

then we have to multiply 0.72 by $54.18.

0.72 x $54.18 = $39.01

Your dad paid $39.01, but now we have to identify how much is the total.

$54.18 + $39.01 = $93.19

(Hope I could help!)
