What was left of A dollars after 45% of it was spent? (Show your work.)

0.55A dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

If 45% of the money was spent, then the percentage left was

100% - 45%, or 55%.

Thus, to answer this question, we multiply (A dollars) by 0.55:

0.55A dollars was left after the expenditure of 45% of the original amount.
