Should be markdown, but if you have other options let me know and I'll tell you which it is. But if markdown is one of your choices, or if this is fill-in, it's markdown.
Let total amount spent =x
Dita spent 35 % of total amount.
35% of x = 0.35x
So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x
% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x
We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,
so making equation we have ,
Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12



x=80
So total amount spent was $80.
Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16
So amount spent by Benton is $16.
Answer: 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can change all the fractions to have equivalent denominators.
The Least Common Denominator of 1 1/4 and 3/8 is 8. Now we can change the fractions.
1 1/4 = 1 2/8 = 10/8.
3/8 = 3/8.
Now we can subtract. Subtract the numerators of the first fraction from the numerators of the second fraction, and the denominators oft he first fraction to the denominators of the second fraction.
10/8 - 3/8 = 7/8.
Therefore, 1 1/4 - 3/8 = 7/8; the fourth answer.
