The equation is asking how much out of Jada's total budget (1545) is spent on electricity a month (47.20).
write this as a fraction 47.20/1545
type into calculator and you get .03055
multiply that by 100 to get it as a percent. you get 3.055%
now round that to the nearest tenth and you get 3.1%
answer 3.1%
