Question

Mike bought an item online for $60 and he was charged a $3 shipping fee. What percent of the sale price was the shipping fee?

What was the percent of 60 is 3?

To find the answer we divide the shipping fee by the cost and then multiply the answer by 100.

`=5`

3 dollars is "5 percent" of 60 dollars.
