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

0.35x =0.2x +12

0.35x -0.2x = 12

0.5x =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:

Andrew

Step-by-step explanation:

Abby:

Since red cards are negative, a red 9 would represent the number -9. And because black cards are positive, a black 6 would represent the number 6. To get the sum, we add the two numbers together:

-9 + 6

That gives us a total of -3.

Ashley:

We can do the same thing as before. A black seven would represent 7 and a red 8 would represent -8. Next we again add them together:

7 + (-8)

That gives us a total of -1.

Andrew:

The red 4 is -4, while the black 4 is 4:

-4 + 4

That gives us a total of 0.

Anna:

Anna has a red 8 which represents -8 and another red, a three, which would represent -3. We can add the two to get:

-8 + (-3)

That gives us a total of -11.

In all, Andrew has the highest sum of 0, which means he won the game.

PLSSSS HELP Which number is not in the correct location?​
neonofarm [45]
The answer is -7, because a whole number is any number between zero and POSITIVE infinity. Negative seven does not fall under this.

I need to know if 3750 is right or wrong cause I think that’s the answer
brilliants [131]
It’s wrong.

The surface area means the area of the outside of the cube.

The area of a square is just width x height. And we are told one of the sides is 5.

A square has all equal sides. So what’s 5x5? then times that by the number of squares

I’ll put the answer in the comments
