$8.25 per hour, how much did Thomas spend on his friend's gift?
$57.00
$63.53
$35.00
$43.25

Answer 1

$63.53

Explanation:

you start by multiplying 35 and 8.25 to figure out the total amount in the pay check

then you turn the 22 percent into a decimal (.22) and multiply the total by it giving you 63.525 which rounds to 63.53

Answer 2

$63.53

Explanation:

First, by looking at the problem, we will have to find the amount of Thomas's paycheck that he used for his friend's Birthday Gift.

35 × 8.25 = 288.75 $

Now we know that Thomas got 288.75 for his paycheck.

The problem says he spent 22% on that, we need to find 22% of 288.75

How we can do this is by first converting the percent into a decimal: 0.22, then multiplying it by the whole.

0.22 × 288.75 = 63.525

So now we know that Thomas spent 63.525 on his Freind.

If we round that number, it will be 63.53...

Therefore, $63.53 is the answer.
