Step-by-step explanation:

35% of $500 is __

We turn 35% into a decimal:

0.35

Now we multiply

0.35 x 500

=175

500-175=325

$325

$175

Step-by-step explanation:

10% of 500 you know is 50

so if you add 10% 3 times you know that that's 30% and its easy to add.

50+50+50= $150

than you add the 5% and how you get 5% if you split the 10% in half. Half of 50 is 25 so therefor if you add 10+10+10+5= 35% and if you add 50+50+50+25= $175
