Answer:


\large\boxed{\large\boxed{41\%}}

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to assume that the total expenses were equal to the cost of the supplies, i.e. there were not other expenses but the $1,500 for supplies to sell.

The total income or revenue was $3,700.

The percentage of the expenses to the revenue is:


Percentage=(expenses)/(revenue)* 100\\\\\\ Percentage=(\$1,500)/(\$3,700)* 100=40.5\%\approx41\%
