Question

What percent of the total budget is the car (to the nearest tenth)

16.0
16.2
16.8
17.2

Answer 1

16%

Explanation:

We have been given a table for the budget of June month.

Using that table we need to calculate about what percent of the total budget is the car. Then round the answer to the nearest tenth.

From table we see that budget for the car = $272

From table we see that total budget for June month = $1695

then required percent is given by formula :

`percent=(part)/(whole)\cdot 100\%`

`percent=(272)/(1695)\cdot 100\%`

`percent=(27200)/(1695) \%`

`percent=16.0471976401 \%`

Which is approx 16%.

Answer 2

Answer: first option

Explanation:

You can observe in the figure that the total budget is $1,695.00 and the car is $272.00

Then, you know that the total budget represents the 100%, then, to calculate what percent of the total budget the car is, you need to divide $272.00 by $1,695.00 and multiply this by 100:

`\%car=( \$272.00)/( \$1,695.00)*100\\\\\%car=16.04\%`

Rounded to the nearest tenth:

`\%car=16.0\%`
