Question

31. Find the percent of the total spent on each of the following:
Equipment $258, Fees $362, Transportation $153

Answer 1

Answer:  Equipment = 33%, Fees = 47%, Transportation = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total sum     258 + 362 + 153 = 773

Next, calculate the percent by dividing each value by the total and moving the decimal two places to the right.

$\text{Equipment:}\ \dfrac{258}{773}=.33\quad \longrightarrow \quad 33\%\\\\\\\text{Fees:}\ \dfrac{362}{773}=.47\quad \longrightarrow \quad 47\%\\\\\\\text{Transportation:}\ \dfrac{153}{773}=.20\quad \longrightarrow \quad 20\%$

Answer 2

  Percentage expenditure in different heads will be,

• Equipment → 33.4%

• Fees → 46.8%

• Transportation → 19.8%

Expenditure in different heads have been given as,

• Equipment → $258
• Fees → $362
• Transportation → $153

Total expenditure = $258 + $362 + $153

                              = $773

Expression to calculate the percentage expenditure,

Percentage expenditure = $\frac{\text{Expenditure in different heads}}{\text{Total expenditure}}\times 100$

Percentage expenditure on equipment = $\frac{258}{773}\times 100$

                                                                  = 33.4%

Percentage expenditure in paying fees = $\frac{362}{773}\times 100$

                                                                  = 46.8%

Percentage expenditure on transportation = $\frac{153}{773}\times 100$

                                                                        = 19.8%

       Hence, percentage expenditure on equipment, fees and transportation will be 33.4%, 46.8% and 19.8% respectively.
