$29.06\%$
$70.94\%$
$58.50\%$
$41.50\%$

Solution:

Concept:

Percentage of money left is calculated as the amount remaining divided by the original amount, multiplied by

100

.

Explanation:

Total money Peter had

= \text{GH₵ } 200.00

.

Money spent

= \text{GH₵ } 83.00

.

Money left

= \text{GH₵ } 200.00 - \text{GH₵ } 83.00 = \text{GH₵ } 117.00

.

Percentage of money left

= \frac{\text{Money Left}}{\text{Total Money}} \times 100

.

\text{Percentage left} = \frac{117}{200} \times 100\% = 58.5\%

.

Answer:

58.50\%

, which is option C.
