Part 1
Last month you spent 20 ​$ on clothing. This month you spent 180​% of what you spent last month. Set up a proportion to model this situation. How much did you spend this​ month?

Answer 1

i would have spent $56 this month

Answer 2

The answer is $56

Explanation:

100% is 20, and 80% of 20 is 16. So you just have to add 16+20=36.That was this month.Then you add 20 +36 to combine the months.Therefore getting your answer.

For the proportion you write 80/100+x/20
