Question

Kristy went shopping and spent $45 on jewelry. If she spent $77 total, what percentage did she spend on jewelry? Round your answer to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Explanation

We are given the following from the question.

`\begin{gathered} \text{Totals expenses =\$77} \\ \text{Cost of jewelry}=\text{ \%45} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, we can find the percentage the jeweler sold it for. As;

`\begin{gathered} \frac{Cost\text{ of Jewellery }}{\text{Total exp}ens}*100 \\ =(45)/(77)*100 \\ =58\text{\%} \end{gathered}`

Answer: 58%
