Answer 1

If government annually collects $210 billion in tax revenue and allocates $70 billion to military spending. The percentage spent on the military from the budget of the government is 33.33%. To get this percentage you need to divide the $70 billion dollars by the $210 billion dollars to get the percentage of 33.33%. (70/210= 0.3333...) then 0.3333... x 100 + = 33.33%
