Question

The monthly budget for the front of the house is $9,000. You spent 6% of the budget on fresh flowers. How much did you spend on fresh flowers?

Answer 1

The amount spent on flowers is $540

Explanation:

To determine how much you spent on flowers, you take the total amount of the budget and multiply it about the percent allocated for flowers.

Amount spent on flowers = total budget * percent for flowers

= 9000 * .06

= 540

The amount spent on flowers is $540

Answer 2

$540

Explanation:

Since we are paying 6% of the money on flowers we need to multiply our budget by .06. Let x equal the amount of money we payed for flowers.

x=9000*.06

Multiple the two numbers

x=540

We payed $540 for the flowers
