Answer 1

Food & drinks = 50%

Entertainment = 11.1%

Games = 22.2%

Donations = 16.7%

Explanation:

Basically, divide all of the amounts to $54000.

What I did was divide them, my answers are basically close to the exact percentage.

Answer 2

Answer: Collected amount÷total amount x 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Food and drinks =
`(27000)/(54000)` x 100 = 50%

Entertainment =
`(6000)/(54000)` x 100 = 11% (11.1 - .1 recurring)

Games =
`(12000)/(54000)` x 100 = 22% (22.2- .2 recurring)

Donations =
`(9000)/(54000)` x 100 = 17% (16.6- .6 recurring)

Double checking - 50 + 11 + 22 + 17 = 100%

Hope this helps! :)
