Question

Michael spent $28 on fruit at the grocery store. He spent a total of $80 at the store. What percentage of the total did he spend on fruit?

Answer 1

35%

Explanation:

In order to get 35% you will need to:

Divide the cost of fruit by the total amount spent, then multiply it by 100.

Steps:

Divide 28 by 80, then multiply it by hundred.

28/80 = .35

.35(100) = 35

Formula:

Part/Whole x (100) = Percent (Specifically _ is what percent of _)

Hope this helps!
