3/12
Divide:
3/12 = 0.25
Multiply by 100.
0.25 * 100 = 25%
Divide:
3/12 = 0.25
Multiply by 100.
0.25 * 100 = 25%
Percentage spent = (Amount spent / Total amount) x 100
In this case, Helen spent $3 out of $12, so we can substitute the values into the formula:
Percentage spent = (3 / 12) x 100
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Percentage spent = 0.25 x 100
Percentage spent = 25%
Therefore, Helen spent 25% of her $12.
In this case, Helen had $12 and spent $3, so you would divide $3 by $12 and multiply by 100:
(3 / 12) * 100 = 25
Hence, Helen spent 25% of her initial amount.
