Devon earned $42,500 last year and spent 12% of it on home repairs. How much did he spend on his home?

$47,600 Spent on home repairs

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Devon is spending 12 percent of the home cost on repairs

We know the home cost is 42,500

So we just add 12 percent to the bundle

We know 42,500 is 100 percent of the price

And we want to add another 12 percent since the question is asking for the total amount spent on homes

So initially we just multiply 42,500 by 112% or 1.12

Now just multiply

You’ll get 47,600

3.76%
