Read the following questions and write the answers in the spaces provided. 5. Nathan had \( \$ 500 \). He used \( 65 \% \) of his money to buy a watch. How much did the watch cost?

To find out how much Nathan spent on the watch, we need to calculate \( 65\% \) of \( \$500 \). 1. **Convert the percentage to a decimal**: \[ 65\% = \frac{65}{100} = 0.65 \] 2. **Multiply the total amount by the decimal**: \[ \text{Cost of the watch} = 500 \times 0.65 \] Now, let's perform the calculation. \[ 500 \times 0.65 = 325 \] Thus, the watch cost \( \$325 \).
