Question

Jada typically earns $1545 each month, of which $47.50 is spend on electricity. each month, to the nearest tenth of a percent?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you want to know what percentage of her earnings she spends on electricity. You just have to divide and multiply by 100.

47.5/1545 ≈ 0.031

0.031 * 100 = 3.1%

So here electricity bill takes up approximately 3.1% of her earnings every month.
