Question

Dan spent a total of $25 at the grocery store. Of this amount, he spent 14 on fruit. What percentage of the total did he spend on fruit?

Answer 1

56%

Explanation:

This is because the question you need to ask yourself is: 14 is what percent of 25? and the way you solve that is making it 14/25 and then all percents are out of 100 so you need to change the fraction to over 100 so just multiply by 4 (because 25 x 4 is 100) and you get 56/100, which means 56%.
