Question

John O'Sullivan has just completed his first year in business. His records show that he spent the following in advertising:

Internet $600 Radio $650 Yellow Pages $700 Local flyers $400


What percent of John's advertising was spent on the Yellow Pages? (Round to the nearest hundredth percent.)

Answer 1

approximately 30% was spent on the yellow pages

Answer 2

Answer:
% of yellow pages = 29.787%

Step-by-step explanation:
% of yellow pages =
`(cost of yellow pages)/(total cost) * 100`

We have:
cost of yellow pages = $700
Total cost = 600 + 650 + 700 + 400 = $2350

% of yellow pages =
`(700)/(2350) *100`
% of yellow pages = 29.787%

Hope this helps :)
