"I have $225.00 in my account. I can spend all but 20% of that on some new equipment. What is the most that I can afford to spend with your company?” Employee: "With __________ at your disposal, I can make several equipment suggestions!"

Respuesta :

since you can spend all but 20%, then you can spend the rest, namely the 80%.

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

therefore, 80% of 225 is then (80/100) * 225, that much.

Employee can spend at the most of [tex]\$ 180[/tex] from the amount in his account as per given condition of percentage.

What is percentage?

" Percentage is defined as the hundredth part of any given quantity."

According to the question,

Total amount in account [tex]= \$225[/tex]

Percentage of total amount spend on some new equipment [tex]= 20\%[/tex]

Percentage of total amount left in his account [tex]= (100-20)\%[/tex]

                                                                              [tex]= 80\%[/tex]

Amount left in his account to spend on company [tex]= 80\% \ of \ 225[/tex]

                                                                                  [tex]= \frac{80}{100}\times 225\\ \\= \$180[/tex]
