Well to find the answer to this question we first have to add 35 + 48 to get the total percent of the bill that Michelle and Lori paid.
35 + 48 = 83%
now that we know the percent of the bill that Lori and Michelle are paying we have to subtract that amount by 100% to get the percent of the bill that Patti is paying.
100% - 83% = 17%
So Patti is paying 17% of the bill
If we wanted to go even farther and find out what 17% of the bill was all we would have to do is multiply 45 by 17% or 45 x 0.17
