Question

Rita spent a total of $80 at the grocery store. Of this amount, she spent $24 on fruit. What percentage of the total did she spend on fruit?

Answer 1

percentage of the total did she spend on fruit = 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount spent on groceries = $80

Amount spent on fruits = $24

percentage of the total did she spend on fruit = amount spent on fruit/amount spent on groceries × 100

percentage of the total did she spend on fruit = 24/80 × 100

percentage of the total did she spend on fruit = 0.3 × 100

percentage of the total did she spend on fruit = 30%
