Question

Together Mary, Jane, and Ruth received $30. Mary received $6, Jane received $9, and Ruth received $15. What percent of the $30 did Jane receive?

Answer 1

Hey there! :D 

So, we know that Jane received $9 out of the $30. 

Divide 9 by 30. 

9/30= .3

Turn that into a percentage. 

.3= 30%

We can check this by finding the other percentages. 

Ruth= 15  15/30= .5 50% 

Mary= 6 6/30= .2 20%

30%+20%+50%= 100% <== this works

I hope this helps!

Total amount = $30

Jane's amount = $9

Percentage of Jane's amount = 9/30 x 100 = 30%
