Question

You went to the mall with $80. You spent 25% of your money on a pair of shorts and 65% of the remainder on sandals. How much did you spend on the sandals?

Answer 1

$39

Explanation:

25% of 80 is 20 so you have 60 left. Then, you take 60 and figure out what 65% of 60 is and get 39.

Answer 2

$39

Explanation:

Multiply 80 by 0.25 to get 20 ( your total spent on shorts) Subtract 20 from 80 to get 60 Multiply 60 by 0.65 to get 39 (your total spent on sandals) You spent $39 on sandals.

Hope this helps!!!
