Paula, a college student, earned $3,600 one summer. during the following semester, she spent $2,500 for tuition, $650 for rent, and $430 for food. the rest went for miscellaneous expenses. what fractions show the amounts paula spent on tuition, rent, food, and miscellaneous expenses?

Step-by-step explanation:

Paula, a college student, earned one summer = $3,600

We have to show the amount in fraction that Paula spent during the following semester,

she spent for tuition = $2,500 = × 100

=0.6944 × 100

=  69.44% or  

She spent for rent = $650 =   × 100

= 0.1806 × 100

= 18.06% or  

Paula spent for food = $430 =   × 100

=0.1194 × 100

= 11.94% or  

She Spent in tuition, rent and food = 2,500 + 650 + 430 = $3580

Now she spent in miscellaneous expenses = 3600 - 3580 = $20.00   × 100

= 0.056 × 100

= 0.56% or  

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
