Each week, Ainsley spends $28 at the local coffee shop. If she gets a total of $50 each week from her parents for allowance, what percentage of her allowance is she spending at the coffee shop each week?
28/50 = 0.56 = 56%
To find the percentage of Ainsley's allowance that she spends at the coffee shop each week, you need to calculate the ratio of the amount she spends at the coffee shop to her total allowance, and then express that ratio as a percentage.
First, calculate the amount Ainsley spends at the coffee shop as a fraction of her total allowance:
Amount spent at the coffee shop = $28
Total allowance = $50
Ratio = Amount spent at the coffee shop / Total allowance = $28 / $50
Now, calculate the percentage by multiplying the ratio by 100:
Percentage = Ratio * 100
Let's calculate the percentage:
Percentage = ($28 / $50) * 100
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
Percentage = (0.56) * 100
Finally, we can find the percentage:
Percentage = 56%
Therefore, Ainsley spends 56% of her allowance at the coffee shop each week.
To find the percentage of Ainsley's allowance that she spends at the coffee shop, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate how much Ainsley spends at the coffee shop each week by subtracting $28 from her total weekly allowance: $50 - $28 = $22.
2. Divide the amount Ainsley spends at the coffee shop by her total weekly allowance: $22 / $50 = 0.44.
3. Multiply the result by 100 to express it as a percentage: 0.44 x 100 = 44%.
Therefore, Ainsley spends 44% of her allowance at the coffee shop each week.
