Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Fernando's total weekly allowance is $50 \$50 .
2. Fernando spent $20 \$20 on snacks.
3. We need to find what percent of his weekly allowance was spent on snacks.

STEP 2

1. Define the variables.
2. Set up the fraction.
3. Convert the fraction to a percentage.

STEP 3

Define the variables: Let A A be the total weekly allowance, which is $50 \$50 . Let S S be the amount spent on snacks, which is $20 \$20 .

STEP 4

Set up the fraction representing the portion of the allowance spent on snacks:
Fraction of allowance spent=SA=2050 \text{Fraction of allowance spent} = \frac{S}{A} = \frac{20}{50}

STEP 5

Convert the fraction to a percentage: First, simplify the fraction:
2050=25 \frac{20}{50} = \frac{2}{5}
Then, convert the simplified fraction to a percentage by multiplying by 100 100 :
25×100=40% \frac{2}{5} \times 100 = 40\%
Fernando spent 40% 40\% of his weekly allowance on snacks.
40%\boxed{40\%}
