Let total amount spent =x
Dita spent 35 % of total amount.
35% of x = 0.35x
So amount spent by Dita = 0.35x
% of money spent by Benton = 20 % of x = 0.2x
We are given that Benton spent $12 more than Claire,
so making equation we have ,
Money spent by Dita = Money spent by Claire +12
x=80
So total amount spent was $80.
Money spent by Benton = 0.2x = 0.2 * 80= $16
So amount spent by Benton is $16.
The expression would be written as:
n-3
N is any number. This expression means two-fifths of a number, subtract three. Now substitute 25 for n.
(25)-3
=10-3
=7
