Answer :

Answer:

33%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out what percentage of your money you need to pay for the bill, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the percentage of your money needed for the bill.

2. Use the formula:

[tex]percentage = ( \frac{amount \: of \: bill}{total \: amount \: of \: money} ) \times 100[/tex]

Given:

- Amount of bill = £40

- Total amount of money = £120

3. Substitute the values into the formula:

[tex]percentage = ( \frac{40}{120} ) \times 100[/tex]

4. Simplify the fraction:

Multiply by 100 to convert to percentage:

[tex]percentage = ( \frac{40}{120} ) \times 100 = 33.33\%[/tex]

5. Round to the nearest whole number:

[tex]percentage = 33.33\%[/tex]

Therefore, you need to pay approximately

[tex]33.33\%[/tex]

of your money to cover the bill.
