Question

Hey can someone help me with this? I think I'm making a lot more complicated than it really is.

Your food costs are $5,500. Your total food sales are $11,000. What percent of your food sales do the food costs represent?

Answer 1

Well all you have to do is divide the two of them

Answer 2

Basically put this as a fraction
5,500
---------
11,000

5,500 is 1/2 of 11,000
1/2=50%
