18% of his earnings went towards entertainment expenses. I used the "is over of equals percent over 100" formula. I then cross multiply then divide. My work is shown.

If you would like to know what percent of earnings did Jon pay in entertainment expenses, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $38000 is $6840
x% * 38000 = 6840
x/100 * 38000 = 6840
x * 380 = 6840 /380
x = 6840 / 380
x = 18%

The correct result would be 18%.
