A statement can help you organize the numbers to answer a question about percents

Semenov [28]

Answer:

$50 is 27.02% of $185.

Step-by-step explanation:

Money spent on clothing = $50

Money spent on Groceries = $100

Money spent on Gas = $35

Total money spent = $185

Our question is to find the percentage of total money that is spent on clothing.

Percentage money on clothing = $\frac{Money spent on clothing}{Total money}$ × 100

= $\frac{50}{185}$ × 100

= 27.02% (approx)

Hence, $50 is 27.02% of $185.
