IF I SPEND 40% ON GROCERY AND 16% ON UTILITES AND 12% ON SHOES HOW MUCH WILL I HAVE LEFT OUT OF A 260.00 PAYCHECK

Sagot :

The answer to the question is $83.2! All you have to do is convert the percentages into decimals like this; 40/100 which equals 0.40 and multiply the number by 260, keep doing the same with all the percentages, then add all of the answers and subtract them by 260.

-- The percentage that you spend is  (40% + 16% + 12%)  =  68 %

-- The whole thing that you begin with is 100 % .
If you spend  68%, then you have  (100 - 68)  = 32% left.

-- 32% means 0.32 .  And "of" means "times" in math.

--  0.32  x  $260.00  =  $ 83.20
