Question

John receives a 36000 salary for working as an agent. If john spends 50% of his salary on expenses each year, then how much money does john have to spend on expenses? Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary

Answer 1

John spends $18000 on expenses

Explanation:

50% =
`(1)/(2)`

50% means half of something

therefore,

$36000 ×
`(1)/(2)` = $18000, or $36000 ÷ 2 = $18000
