Question

Anya contributed $1,200 toward the purchase

of a $2,000 computer. Her brother contributed
$240 toward the same computer. Her parents
provided the rest of the money for the computer. What percentage of the total cost of the computer did Anya's parents pay?

Answer 1

Parent's share would be : 28%

Explanation:

Cost of the computer = $2000

Anya's share = $1200

Brother's share = $240

Parents paid rest. That will be : 2000 - 1200 - 240 = $560

Percentage of parents share :

`(560)/(2000) * 100 = 28 \%`
