Question

Frank spent a total of $65 at the grocery store. Of this amount, he spent $39 on fruit. What percentage of the total did he spend on fruit?

Answer 1

We know that

• Frank spent a total of $65.

,

• He spent $39 on fruit.

To know the percentage of fruit, we just have to divide them, then we multiply by 100 to express it in percentage

`\begin{gathered} f=(39)/(65)=0.6 \\ f=0.6\cdot100=60 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, Frank spent 60% of his money on fruit.
