Miguel spent a total of $60 at the grocery store. Of this amount , he spent $18 on fruit. What percentage of the total did he spend on fruit

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent can be found by dividing the part by the whole, or

part/whole

In this case, the part is the amount he spent on fruit. The whole is the total amount he spent.

amount spent on fruit/ total amount spent

He spent $18 on fruit, and $60 in total.

$18/ $60

Divide 18 by 60

18/60

0.3

Convert 0.3 to a decimal by multiplying by 100 or moving the deicaml place two spots to the right.

0.3*100=30

0.3--> 3.0 --> 30

30%

He spent 30% on fruit.

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
