Question

A group of friends was working on a student film that had a budget of $700. They used $658 of their budget on costumes. What percentage of their total budget did they spend on costumes?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{94\%}`

Simply use division to solve this problem.

`(\$658)/(\$700)=0.94`

Now, multiply this by 100 to get a percentage.

`0.94=\large\boxed{94\%}`
