Let total amount spent =x
Dita spent 35 % of total amount.
35% of x = 0.35x
So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x
% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x
We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,
so making equation we have ,
Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12
x=80
So total amount spent was $80.
Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16
So amount spent by Benton is $16.

Answer:
y=1/5x-31/5 (or y=0.2x-6.2 in decimals)
Step-by-step explanation:
x=5y-8 (original equation)
x+8=5y <u>(Addition Property of Equality)</u>
1/5x+8/5=y <u>(Division Property of Equality, </u><u>slope </u><u>of </u><u><em>original equation </em></u><u>is </u><u>1/5</u><u>)</u>
<u />
y-y1=m(x-x1) <u>(point-slope formula)</u>
y-(-5))=1/5(x-(6)) <u>(plug in the slope that was found earlier and the point given in the question)</u>
y+5=1/5(x-6)
y+5=1/5x-6/5 (Distributive Property of Multiplication) Note: 5 = 25/5
<u>y=1/5x-31/5</u> (Subtraction Property of Equality, and there's your answer)
<u>y=0.2x-6.2</u><em> </em>(This is the same answer, but written with decimals)
Starting more simply, if we wanted to know how many students like pink in general, that's 68/100. We could do that for each single category and the fractions would add together to equal 1. Now say we wanted to know something about that 68/100 people. That 68 is our new 100%, or another way of looking at it is if we take however many people like pink and don't like black and those that do like black, they will equal 68/68.
The number of people that like pink but don't like black is 41/68 and those that like pink and black are 27/68. 27+41=68 For the question of your problem it is asking about those that do not like pink which you can tell from the table or use from my saying 68/100 like pink is 32. Now you can split that into those that do or don't like black, and the two results will equal 32/32.
