Answer 1

Answer:

12%.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, after adding up all your expenses for the month you spent $465.36. your total budget for the month is $529.

Total budget = $529

Total expenditure = $465.36

Under budget = $529 - $465.36 = $63.64

We need to find the percentage of under budget.

$\%=\dfrac{\text{Under budget}}{\text{Total budget}}\times 100$

$\%=\dfrac{63.64}{529}\times 100$

$\%=0.12030\times 100$

$\%=12.030\%$

$\%\approx 12\%$

Therefore, the required percentage is 12%.
