Final answer:

To find the percentage spent on gas, divide the cost of gas by the total budget and multiply by 100. In this case, the gas cost is $91.50 and the budget is $600. Therefore, the percentage spent on gas is 15.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage spent on gas, divide the cost of gas by the total budget and multiply by 100. In this case, the gas cost is $91.50 and the budget is $600.



Therefore, the percentage spent on gas is:



($91.50 / $600) * 100 = 15.25%



So, 15.25% of the budget was spent on gas.
