Question

Karl has $1,500. He spends $375 on a phone and of the rest on a gaming system. What percent of his money is spent on the gaming system?

Answer 1

Answer:

75%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the amount he is using for the gaming system which is

$1500 - $375 = $1125

Now we will express $1125 as a percentage of the total amount and we do that like this;

$\frac{1125}{1500}$ * 100%

= $\frac{1125}{15}$

=75%

Answer 2

Answer:

75 %

Step-by-step explanation:

1500 - 375 =1125

So 1125 is spent on the gaming system

Take this over the total amount to get the decimal form

1125/1500 =.75

Change to percent form

75 %
