Question

Transportation costs are 12% of the total budget. Find the amount of the budget item if the total budget is $4,500.00.

Answer 1

$540

Explanation:

We first need to find the decimal form of 12%:

12% ->
`(12)/(100)` -> 0.12

Next, multiply 4,500 by 0.12:

`x=4,500(0.12)`

`x=540`

The transportation costs are going to be $540.
