Question

Joe spent $48 on fruit at the grocery store. He spent a total of $50 at the store. What percentage of the total did he spend on fruit?

Answer 1

Answer:

If Joe has a total of 50 dollars and uses only 48 dollars and you are trying find the percentage of how much he spent, all you need to do is take the amount of money he use dives it by how much money he had in the beginning. Then multiply the number by 100 to get the percentage.

48/50=.96

.96*100=96%

In total he spent 96% of his money.

Answer 2

Answer:

96%

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount spent of fruit and divide by the total

48/50

Percent means out of 100 so multiply the top and bottom by 2

96/100

96%
