Question

A group of friends were working on a student film that had a budget of $1140. They used 65% of their budget on costumes. How much money did they spend on costumes?

Answer 1

Answer:

They use 741 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Write 65% as

65/100

Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have

65/100 of 1140 = 65/100× 1140

Therefore, the answer is 741

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 65÷100×1140 which will give you 741 as the answer.
