Question

) Tommy was dividing up his money amongst his friends. He
started out with 53 dollars. If he gave two of his friends 23%
and his other friend 12% how much money was Tommy left
with? Express the amount as a numeral value, not a
percentage.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tommy was left with $34.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Money Tommy has = $\ 53$

He gave for 2 friend  = $23\%$

Money gave by Tommy for 2 friends = $\frac{23\times53}{100}=\ 12.19$

He gave other friend = $12\%$

Money gave by Tommy to other friend = $\frac{12\times53}{100}=\ 6.36$

We need to find the Money left with Tommy.

Money left can be calculated by Subtracting Money gave by Tommy for 2 friends and Money gave by Tommy to other friend by Total Money Tommy has.

Money left = Total Money Tommy has - Money gave by Tommy for 2 friends - Money gave by Tommy to other friend = $\ 53 -\ 12.19-\ 6.36=\ 34.45$.

Hence, Tommy was left with $34.45.
