Question

Susan spent a total of 45$ at the grocery store I’d this amount she spent $18 on fruit what percentage of the total did she spend on fruit

Answer 1

Answer:

40% of the total was spent on fruit

Step-by-step explanation:

100%=45    x=18

100/x = 45/18    Now take the inverse of both sides

x/100 = 18/45

This leads to 1800 = 45x

1800 divided by 45 is equal to 40

The total percentage spent on fruit was 40%
