Question

I ordered a T-shirt online for $6.50 I had to pay shipping fee of one dollar what percent of the cost of the T-shirt was the shipping fee round to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

15.4%

Explanation:

Price of T-Shirt = $6.50

Shipping Cost of T-Shirt = $1.00

To find percentage the shipping cost is OF the T-shirt Cost, we have to divide:

Shipping Cost

by

T shirt cost

Then multiply by 100.

Let's do this. Shown below:

`(1)/(6.50)\\=0.1538\\=0.1538*100\\=15.38`

That is, 15.35%, but we need to round to nearest tenth (1 decimal place).

So, the shipping fee is 15.4% of tshirt cost.
