Elaine Haley · Answer 1

The percentage is the ratio of (amount spent on fruits/total amount) * 100 = (36/45) * 100 = (4*100) / 5 = 80%

Jessica Case · Answer 2

Rita spent a total of $90

She spent 81/90 dollars on fruit

To write 81/90 as a percent have to remember that 1 equal 100% and that what you need to do is just to multiply the number by 100 and add at the end symbol %.

81/90 * 100 = 0.9 * 100 = 90%
