Question

While grocery shopping. you purchase 3 gallons of milk that cost $2.19 each. The entire grocery bill came out to a total of $52.56.

What percent of your grocery bill did you spend on milk?

Answer 1

To find out what percent of your grocery bill you spent on milk, you can use the following formula:

Percentage spent on milk= (cost of milk/total grocery bill)X100

In this case:

- Cost of milk = 3 gallons × $2.19 per gallon = $6.57

- Total grocery bill = $52.56

Now, calculate the percentage spent on milk:

\[ \text{Percentage spent on milk} = \left( \frac{6.57}{52.56} \right) \times 100 \]

\[ \text{Percentage spent on milk} = \left( \frac{6.57}{52.56} \right) \times 100 \approx 12.50\% \]

So, you spent approximately 12.50% of your grocery bill on milk.
