Kara was interested in going to the mall to
buy some new clothes. Once she got there she
purchased two shirts that cost $13.42 total. If
she started out with $40.00, what percentage of
her money did she spend
i dont know aka idk -_-
33.55
To find the percentage of money that Kara spent, you can use the formula:
Percentage = (Amount Spent / Total Money) * 100
First, let's calculate the amount Kara spent. Since she bought two shirts that cost $13.42 in total, each shirt would cost $6.71 (13.42 / 2 = 6.71).
Now, let's find the amount Kara spent by deducting the cost of the shirts from the total amount of money she had:
Amount Spent = Total Money - Cost of Shirts
Amount Spent = 40.00 - 13.42
Amount Spent = 26.58
Now, let's use the formula to find the percentage:
Percentage = (Amount Spent / Total Money) * 100
Percentage = (26.58 / 40.00) * 100
Percentage = 66.45
Therefore, Kara spent approximately 66.45% of her money.
