Question

Joe makes $320 per week. He spends 35% of his money on food. How much money does Joe spend on food?

Answer 1

Multiply his pay by 35%

320 x 0.35 = 112

Answer: $112

Answer 2

Answer:

$112

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, you get 320, and divide by 10, which gives us 32. This represents 10%. Since we are finding 35% of 320, you times 32 by 3. This gives us 96. So far, 96 is worth 30%. To find 5%, you halve what 10% is, which is 32 divided by 2. This gives us 16. For the final answer, you do 96 + 16, which is 112.

You then convert it to dollars, which is $112.
