Question

Ramon earns $1,725 each month and pays $53.70 on electricity. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what percent of Ramon's earnings are spent on electricity each month?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Remark

The formula you use is (Electricity / Total Income ) * 100

The ratio becomes 53.7/1725 * 100%

The ratio is 53.7/1725 * 100 = 0.03113 * 100

The % = 0.03113 * 100 = 3.113

To the closest tenth that is 3.1%
