Question

An arena makes profits of $150,000, $75,000, and $1,250,000 from concerts, circuses, and UFC events, respectively. What are the respective percentages of the total profit? (Round to the nearest percent.)

Answer 1

10%, 5%, 85%

Step-by-step explanation:

`((1250+75+150))/(100)=14(3)/(4)` This is the amount, in thousands, required to get 1%.

`(1250)/(14.75)=84(3)/(4)`, therefore this is 85% (approximated)

`(75)/(14.75)=5(1)/(12)`, therefore this is 5%, and we'll call this number A

`a*2=10(1)/(6)`, and this is 10%!
