Im Confused With This Please Help Me Thanks class=

Sagot :

Answer:  17%

Step-by-step explanation:

I think they're saying your expenses for everything this month were $500, and of that $500 you spent $85 on clothing.

Let's represent the percentage spent on clothing as "[tex]\star[/tex]". Then

[tex]$\star \% = \frac{85}{500}$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{\star}{100} = \frac{85}{500}$[/tex]

which means

[tex]$\star = \frac{85}{500} \times 100 = 17$[/tex]

(If you don't understand how I moved the 100, just think about it for a bit.)

So the answer is [tex]\boxed{17\%}[/tex].

17 percent. your welcome
