Question

If last year, nadia earned $31,025. of that amount, she spent $3612.59 on food. what percent of her income went to food, to the nearest tenth of a percent

Answer 1

First make an equation
x% of 31,025= 3612.59

Then isolate x by dividing both sides by 31,025

x= 3612.59÷31,025

Divide to get your answer

x= .116

Last make you answer a percent and round

x= 11.6%
