36/40 = 9/10
and convert into percentage would be (9/10 )*100 which would be 90
Answer:
5/96
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction used to buy new books = 5/8
Amount for book money = 1/12 of amount of adult novels
Part used for adult movies = 1/12 * 5/8
Part used for adult movies = 5/96
Hence the part of the budget that went towards buying young adult novels is 5/96
Mary's backpack: 25% of 65 = 0.25 * 65 = 16.25; 65 - 16.25 = $48.75
Roberto's backpack: 30% of 75 = 0.3 * 75 = 22.5; 75 - 22.5 = $52.5
Mary's backpack was a better buy because it was cheaper.
