Answer: Collected amount÷total amount x 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Food and drinks = $\frac{27000}{54000}$ x 100 = 50%

Entertainment = $\frac{6000}{54000}$ x 100 = 11% (11.1 - .1 recurring)

Games = $\frac{12000}{54000}$ x 100 = 22% (22.2- .2 recurring)

Donations = $\frac{9000}{54000}$ x 100 = 17% (16.6- .6 recurring)

Double checking - 50 + 11 + 22 + 17 = 100%

Hope this helps! :)
