David received $50 dollars for working at his father’s store. He spent $20 dollars at the movies, and $10 dollars buying comic books. After buying $5 worth of candy, he saved the rest. What is the ratio of the amount of money David spent to the amount that David saved?

yup so the ratio of spent ($35) to saved ($50) would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

35:50 or 50:35?

OpenStudy (notshh):

treat "to" as the ":" sign. so yes, it'd be 35:50. don't forget to simplify tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):
