Let the money spent by John = y
and Amy=x
ATQ
x+y = $29
It is given that jon spend 5 more than Amy. SO he spend
x +5
x+y = $29
x+x+5=$29
2x = 29-5
2x= 24
x = 24/2 =12
So Amy spend $ 12 and Jon spend x+5 = 12+5 = $17
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
How to do the problem:
Assuming that you mean you want 12% of the number 80 and showing work, here is the answer:
To get X percent of any number, write the percent as a decimal and then multiply that decimal by the whole.
What I mean:
You want 12% of 80
so first change 12% into a decimal
12% is equal to .12 as a decimal
Then multiply that decimal by the whole
Since you want 12% of 80, 80 is the whole
that means you do .12 * 80
which is equal to 9.6
<u>Thus(answer)</u>
12% of 80 = 9.6
