Joe spent $48 on fruit at the grocery store. He spent a total of $50 at the store. What percentage of the total did he spend on fruit?

96%

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount spent of fruit and divide by the total

48/50

Percent means out of 100 so multiply the top and bottom by 2

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
