Question

A B C D E Confirm Supplies for last year cost $1,477, which was $177 over budget. Rounded to the nearest 1%, by what percent did the cost exceed the budgeted cost?

Answer 1

It would be over 12% (11.98375085%)

Lets break it down:

You need to find what percent 177 is of 1,477.
To do this, you need to do 177÷1,477 to get 0.1198 and so on

(To find a percent from a decimal, you move the decimal point 2 places to the right)

If you find the percent, it would be 11.98 (and so on) percent. Rounded to the nearest 1%, it would be 12%

Hope this helps!
