Answer:

The answer is 5.7%

Explanation:

So Peter bought the makeup set that was $30.

and had to pay $1.71.

1.71 of 30.

So you would divide 1.71 with 30.

(1.71/30)

equaling .057

Then you would multiply by 100 because there is 100% total, and so multiplying that you would move the decimal two times to the right, getting 5.7

hope this helped B)
