Answer 1

First you have to create a proportion which would look like 25/100 =n/136. to find the answer cross multiply the answer: 100n=25*136 which simplified is: 100n=3400. Now you have to divide by 100 to either side:100n/100=3400/100 and that simplified is n=34 and 34 dollars is your answer

Answer 2

25% of 136 is what your going to figure out
.25= 25%
of= multiplication
.25 • 136 which equals 34
so mike spent 34 dollars on his ticket
