Answer:
30%
Step-by-step explanation:
A percent can be found by dividing the part by the whole, or
part/whole
In this case, the part is the amount he spent on fruit. The whole is the total amount he spent.
amount spent on fruit/ total amount spent
He spent $18 on fruit, and $60 in total.
$18/ $60
Divide 18 by 60
18/60
0.3
Convert 0.3 to a decimal by multiplying by 100 or moving the deicaml place two spots to the right.
0.3*100=30
0.3--> 3.0 --> 30
30%
He spent 30% on fruit.
The best thing to do here is to find 1%, then multiply this by 12.
72/100= 0.72
0.72*12= 8.64
Therefore, 12% of 72 is 8.64
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we have:
we also have:
from (1)(2) => proven
For this case we have the following equation:
If we multiply both sides of the equation by 3 we get:
---> Multiplication Property of Equality
Applying the distributive property we have:
---> Distributive Property
Adding 1 on both sides of equality we have:
---> Addition Property of Equality
Subtracting 
on both sides we have:
---> Subtraction Property of Equality
Finally, dividing by -4 on both sides we have:
---> Division Property of Equality
