Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent can be found by dividing the part by the whole, or

part/whole

In this case, the part is the amount he spent on fruit. The whole is the total amount he spent.

amount spent on fruit/ total amount spent

He spent $18 on fruit, and $60 in total.

$18/ $60

Divide 18 by 60

18/60

Convert 0.3 to a decimal by multiplying by 100 or moving the deicaml place two spots to the right.

0.3*100=30

0.3--> 3.0 --> 30

30%

He spent 30% on fruit.
