so the cost was 1477, which is 177 over the budget, meaning the budget is 1477 - 177 or just 1300.

now, if we take 1300 to be the 100%, how much in percentage is 177, the overflown amount?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 1300&100\\ 177&p \end{array}\implies \cfrac{1300}{177}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies 1300p=17700\implies p=\cfrac{17700}{1300} \\\\\\ p=\cfrac{177}{13}\implies p\approx 13.62\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{p=14}

Answer:

<em>The cost exceeded the budgeted cost by 14%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplies for last year cost $1,477, <u>which was $177 over budget</u>. So, the budgeted cost was:  (\$1477-\$177)=\$1300

Suppose, the cost of supplies exceeded the budgeted cost by  x\%

So, <u>the amount of exceeded cost</u> =1300\times x\%=1300\times \frac{x}{100}= 13x dollar.

Thus, the equation will be......

13x=177\\ \\ x=\frac{177}{13}=13.615... \approx 14

<em>(Rounded to the nearest 1%)</em>

So, the cost exceeded the budgeted cost by 14%

How would you solve this problem 2/6×3= would you divide or multiply
Rainbow [258]
In the order of operation, multiplying or dividing don't take preference over the other. So with them, you work from left to right.

This means for this question, you first divide, then multiply.
