Given:
Dustin wants a new pair of shoes that cost $40.
His mom pays 75% of the cost and dustin pays 25%.
To find:
How much do they each pay?
Solution:
We have,
Total cost of shoes = $40
His mom pays 75% of the cost.
[tex]\text{Mom pays}=\dfrac{75}{100}\times 40[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mom pays}=\dfrac{3}{4}\times 40[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mom pays}=30[/tex]
Dustin pays 25% of the cost.
[tex]\text{Dustin pays}=\dfrac{25}{100}\times 40[/tex]
[tex]\text{Dustin pays}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 40[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mom pays}=10[/tex]
Therefore, Dustin pays $10 and his mom pays $30.
