Answer 2

Answer: The required percent of cost that was spent on books is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a student's cost for last semester was $2100 and she spent $420 of that on books.

We are to find the percent of last semester's college costs that was spent on books.

The total cost of last semester, C = $2100

and

the cost of books in the last semester, S = $420.

Therefore, the percent of last semester's college costs that was spent on books is given by

`(S)/(C)* 100\%=(420)/(2100)* 100\%=(100)/(5)\%=20\%.`

Thus, the required percent of cost that was spent on books is 20%.
