Answer 1

We conclude that 14% of last semester's college cost was spent on books.

Explanation:

The cost spent at community college = $2200

The amount spent on books = $308

The % of last semesters college costs was spent on books can be determined using the formula

% spent books on = [308 / 2200] × 100

= 0.14 × 100

= 14%

Therefore, we conclude that 14% of last semester's college cost was spent on books.
