Benito had 10 days of vacation. He spent \(\frac{1}{5}\) of his vacation fishing. He spent 30% of his vacation at soccer camp. He spent the rest of the time at the beach. What percent of his vacation did Benito spend at the beach?

To find the percentage of Benito's vacation that he spent at the beach, we need to calculate the percentage of his vacation that he spent fishing and at soccer camp and then subtract that from 100%.
Benito spent 1/5 of his vacation fishing, which is the same as 20% (since 1/5 is equal to 1 ÷ 5 = 0.2, or 20%). He also spent 30% of his vacation at soccer camp. Together, he spent 20% + 30% = 50% of his vacation doing these activities. Therefore, the percentage he spent at the beach is 100% - 50% = 50%.

Benito spent 50% of his vacation at the beach after calculating the time spent fishing and at soccer camp. He spent 20% fishing and 30% at soccer camp, totaling 50%. Subtracting this from 100% gives 50% spent at the beach.
