Question

Leo wants to buy 35 skiing lessons that cost £50 each, but he only has

£1300.
What percentage (%) of the total cost of the lessons does Leo have?
Round your answer to 1 decimal place.

Answer 1

The total cost of 35 skiing lessons at £50 each is:

35 x £50 = £1750

Leo has only £1300, so he can't afford to pay the full cost. To find out what percentage of the total cost he has, we can use the following formula:

Percentage = (Part / Whole) x 100%

where "Part" is the amount Leo has (£1300) and "Whole" is the total cost of the lessons (£1750).

So, plugging in the values, we get:

Percentage = (1300 / 1750) x 100%

Percentage = 0.74285714 x 100%

Percentage = 74.3%

Therefore, Leo has 74.3% of the total cost of the lessons. Rounded to one decimal place, the answer is 74.3%.
