Question

The circle graph above shows the distribution of utility expenses for the Hierra family last year. If the family’s total utility expenses last year were $3,600, what were their expensive go water and sewer.
Water and sewer=X%
Electric=30%
Heating and gas=50%

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - $720 or 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total expense = 3600

Electric=30%

Heating and gas=50%

Water and sewer=X%

Solution:

For electric: 3600*30/100 = 1080

for heating and gas: 3600*50/100 = 1800

Left money for expense of water and shower = total - (electric and heating)

= 3600-1880

= 720

Percentage of water and shower = 720*100/3600

= 20%
