Renee, Susan and Martha will share the cost to rent a vacation house for a week.
Renee will pay 40% of the cost.
Susan will pay 0.35 of the cost.
Martha will pay the remainder of the cost.
If the cost to rent the vacation house is $800, how much will each person pay?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
40% of $800 is 0.4*800 = $320.
0.35 of $800 is 0.35*800 = $280.
Answer. Renee pays $320. Susan pays $280. Martha pays the rest, $800 - $320 - $280 = $200.
