Answer 1

The total amount of money is 666.67 USD.

Given:

Percentage of total amount spent by Bob = 12%

To find:

The total amount of money.

Solution:

Let's assume that the total amount of money is x.

According to the given data, Bob spends 12% of x.

Amount of money spent by Bob = 12x/100 = 80

=> 12x = 80 x 100

=> 12x = 8000

=> x = 8000/12

=> x = 666.67 USD

Hence, the total amount of money is 666.67 USD.
