Last month you spent $40 on clothing. This month you spent 120% of what you spent last month. Set up a proportion to model this situation. How much did you spend this month?

$48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Money spent on clothing last month = $40

Money spent this month is 120% of the spending of the last month.

To find:

A proportion to model this situation.

And the spending done this month?

Solution:

Let us have a look at 120% first.

of can be found by comparing with 5, then we have to find the equivalent of 6.

Here, is 40.

5 parts are equivalent to 40

1 part is equivalent to

6 parts are equivalent to

OR

simply:

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
