Given:

• Mr. Krabs goes to "Cheapstuff "3/8 of the time.

In percentage,


(3)/(8)*100=37.5

• He goes to "Gimme Money!" 60% of the time.

• He goes to "I Won't Pay icent! " the rest of the time.

That is,


\begin{gathered} 37.5+60+x=100 \\ 97.5+x=100 \\ x=2.5 \end{gathered}

a)

The precent of the time does her go to "I Won't may 1 cent is 2.5%.

b)

The simplest fraction form Part a is,


\begin{gathered} (2.5)/(100)=(25)/(1000) \\ =(1)/(40) \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is,


(1)/(40)
