he would spend $_________ on entertainment
he would spend $_________ on miscllanius

Answer 1

10 dollars on food
2.50 on miscellanious
5 on entertainment
7.50 on clothing

All you do is take 25 times .4 .1 .2 and .3 to get all four answers because .4 equals 40 percent and so on to get a decimal from a percent take the decimal and move it back two spaces like on 40 percent the point starts at zero move it once it is at 4.0 twice it is at .4

Answer 2

clothin== 30/100*25=30/4=7.50$
food== 40/100*25=10$
entertainment== 20/100*25=5$
misc== 10/100*25=2.50$

Answer 3

mult. % x $ =.30 x 25 = 7.50 clothing, .40 x 25 = 10.00 food, ..20 x 25 = 5.00 entertainment and .10 x 25 = 2.50 misscellaneous To check these add the amounts for each item 7.50+10.00+5.00= 2.50= $25.00

Answer 4

convert percent to decimal
.4=40%
multiply decimal by amount of money since "times" means "of"
.4*25=10 bucks

Answer 5

40% = 0.4, so 0.4 x $25 = $10.00 (food)
30 % = 0.3, so 0.3 x $25 = $7.50 (clothing)
20% = 0.2, so 0.2 x $25 = $5.00 (entertainment)
10% = 0.1, so 0.1 x $25 = $2.50 (miscellaneous)

Answer 6

$2.50 on miscellaneous
$5.00 on entertainment
$7.50 on clothing
$10.00 on food.
