Frank spent a total of $65 at the grocery store. Of this amount, he spent $39 on fruit. What percentage of the total did he spend on fruit?

Respuesta :

We know that

• Frank spent a total of $65.

,

• He spent $39 on fruit.

To know the percentage of fruit, we just have to divide them, then we multiply by 100 to express it in percentage

[tex]\begin{gathered} f=\frac{39}{65}=0.6 \\ f=0.6\cdot100=60 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, Frank spent 60% of his money on fruit.
