Question

Alex spent $126.42 on new school clothes and supplies. If $86.23 of that was spent on supplies, what percent of what she spent on supplies?

Answer 1

68%

Explanation:

To find the percentage we are going to put the amount she spent on supplies over the total amount she spent and multiply it by 100.

= 86.23 ÷ 126.42 × 100

= 68.2% or 68%
