You went to the mall with $80. you spend 25% of your money on a pair of shorts and 65% of the remainder on sandals. how much did you spend on the sandals?

The answer is $13

Explanation:

You would first have to find 25% of the original amount. To do so, you must multiply the decimal amount of the percentage (0.25) by the number. The product is 20, or $20. So now that you have found the amount that you have spent your money on shorts, now you must find 65% of 20 to find the sandal spending amount. 0.65 * 20 = 13, or $13. Therefore, you spent a total of $13 on the sandals.

Hope I helped and good luck!
