To determine what fraction of your money you spent:
1. Start by identifying the total amount of money you initially had, which is [tex]$20.
2. Identify the amount of money you spent on baseball tickets, which is $[/tex]9.
3. To find the fraction of your money that you spent, divide the amount spent by the total amount of money you had.
Thus, the fraction of money spent is calculated as:
[tex]\[ \text{Fraction spent} = \frac{\text{Money spent}}{\text{Total money}} \][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[ \text{Fraction spent} = \frac{9}{20} \][/tex]
4. Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, the fraction [tex]\( \frac{9}{20} \)[/tex] is already in its simplest form.
So, the fraction of your money that you spent is:
[tex]\[ \frac{9}{20} \][/tex]
In decimal form, this fraction is approximately 0.45.
Therefore, you spent [tex]\( \frac{9}{20} \)[/tex] or 45% of your money.
