Question

Jackson is at a collectible fair.He has exactly 8$ and will purchase a collectible card for 5$.What percent of his money will he spend on the purchase?

Answer 1

62.5% or 63%

Explanation:

He has $8. To find the percent of money that he spent on the purchase you put the amount spent over the total amount.

In this case, he spent $5. You would put that $5 over the $8, 5/8. When you divide, you get 0.625. To get a percent, you would multiply this number by 100. You end up with 62.5, or 63 if you round up.
