Tom spent $12 on fruit at the grocery store. He spent a total of $ 30 at the store. What percentage of the total did he spend on fruit?

Answer 1

Let's say Tom spent x% of total on fruits.

Total amount spent on fruit = $30

So, x% of $30 = 12

so, x/100 X 30 = 12

So, 30x = 1200

So, x = 1200/30

x = 40%

Hence Tom spent 40% of $30 on fruit
