Question

You went to the mall with $120 and spent $74. What percent was not spent?

Answer 1

38.33

Explanation:

Given: Total amount = 120, Amount used = 74

To find: percent that was not spent

Solution: Firstly, find how much is 74 out of 120. To find the percentage of a number when it is in decimal form, you just need to multiply the decimal number by 100. For this case, to convert 74 to a percentage, 74 x 100 = ...61.67%

Then, 100% - 61.67 = 38.33
