Question

Veronica gave 20% of her money to Bill. She used 50% of the remaining money to buy books.

If Veronica gave $35 to Bill, she spent $
a) 70
b) 87.50
c) 180

Answer 1

35 is the 20% so you multiply 35x5=175. 175 is the whole thing so you minus 175-35=140 which is the remaining money so half of that is 70
