A. 14%, 62%, 23%
B. 15%, 60%, 35%
C. 10%, 70%, 20%
D. 11%, 62%, 27%

Answer 1

Answer: Therefore, Option 'A' is correct.

Step-By-Step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount spent on equipment = $36

Amount spent on fees = $158

Amount spent on transportation = $59

Total amount spent by them is given by

`36+158+59=\$253`

Percent cost of equipment of the total amount is given by

`(36)/(253)* 100=14.2\%`

Percent cost of fees of the total amount is given by

`(158)/(253)* 100\\\\=62.45\%`

Percent cost of transportation of the total amount is given by

`(59)/(100)* 100\\\\=23.3\%`

Hence, Percent cost of the total spent on each is

14%, 62%, 23%.

Therefore, Option 'A' is correct.
