Answer:
$2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we (always) highlight key details. In this case, we would highlight that th candy is 90 cents per pound, and the she bought 2.5 pounds. Now, we just multiply 2.5 by .90, and boom! We get $2.25. Mrs. Nixon spent $2.25 (or two dollars and twenty-five cents) on candy bars.
We set up a proportion: 80/?= 32/100
Cross multiply: 32*?= 80*100
⇒ ?= 80*100/32= 250
80 is 32% of 250.
