Equate the expression to zero to find the roots
Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation
Factor the leading coefficient
Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.
Rewrite as perfect squares
square roots both sides
the roots are
so

Explanation:
First, you need to add all of the numbers to find the total budget. The total budget is <u>$1,116.</u> Then, to find the percentages, you need to divide each sections' money by the budget. For example, for 'contributions', you will do $175.76/$1,116 and get 0.157. But, this is a decimal. To make it into a percentage, you move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right. .157 = 15.7% So, for the 'contributions' section, the answer is 15.7%. Another example. For the 'housing' section, the amount was $350.84. Divide that by $1,116.
Move the decimal point <em>2 spaces to the right</em> -- 31.4%
