Percentage of money spent by Rima = 240/2500*100 = 9.6%

Answer 2

Answer:

⇒ the percentage of money spent by Rima is 9.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data  Mahima has Rs. 1200

                      Rima  has Rs.2500    

Mahima spends 20% of her money and

Rima also spends the same amount as Mahima did

here we need to find the percentage of money spent by Rima  

⇒ Mahima spent 20% of 1200 = $\frac{20}{100} (1200)$ = 20(12) = Rs.240  

⇒ Rima spent same amount = Rs.240

⇒ the percentage of 240 in 2500 = $\frac{240}{2500} (100)$  = $\frac{240}{25}$ = 9.6%

⇒ the percentage of money spent by Rima = 9.6%
