Question

Sally spent $36 and had $12 left. what percent of her money did she spend

Answer 1

Answer:

33.33...%

Step-by-step explanation:

Fast and easy method: Money left ÷ money had × 100

Divide 12 by 36:      $\frac{12}{36}$

Multiply to 100:       $\frac{12}{36}\times \frac{100}{100}$

Simplify:                  $\frac{12}{36}\times \:1$

                               $\frac{1}{3}\times \:1$

                               $\frac{1}{3}$

1/3 is 33.33... in decimal form.
