Question

Kristen and melissa spent 35% of their $32 on movie tickets. how much money did they spend

Answer 1

They spent $20.80

Explanation:

Since they had $32 and spent 35% of it you would do 32 * 35%

then you would get 11.2

now that is not the answer because that is just what 35% of 32 is

to get the answer you would then subtract 11.2 from 32 to get 20.8

and since this is a matter of money you would write 20.8 as $20.80.

Answer 2

11.2$

Explanation:

Kristina and Melissa had 32$ at total

● 32$ => 100%

They have spent 35%

Let x be that amount

● x => 35%

●32 => 100

● x => 35

● x = (35×32)/100 = 11.2$

They have spent 11.2$
