pleas help me

Answer 1

To find the percentage of the money collected from entry fees over the 3 days that was collected on Day 2, we need to first find the total amount collected for all three days.

Total amount collected = $750 + $400 + $300 = $1450

Then, we need to find what fraction of the total was collected on Day 2:

Amount collected on Day 2 = $400

Fraction of total collected on Day 2 = $400 / $1450

Finally, we convert the fraction to a percentage:

Fraction of total collected on Day 2 = $400 / $1450 = 0.2759

Percentage of total collected on Day 2 = 0.2759 x 100% = 27.59%

Therefore, approximately 27.59% of the money collected from entry fees over the 3 days was collected on Day 2.
