You would do part divided by whole.

So first do 405/2700 which will give you 0.15

Then you multiply .15*100 to get the percentage

Your final answer is 15%

Let me know if this helped!

Answer:

15%

Explanation:

this DEFINITELY is not a college-level question

total fees = 2700$

cost of books = 405$

percentage spent on books:

=cost of books/total fees *100

=
(405)/(2700) X 100

= 15%
