Question

Shelby earns $190 per week at her part time job and she spends $15.20 each week eating at the local fast food restaurant. What percent of her weekly income does she spend eating out?

12.5%
28.8%
8%
None of these.

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is 8%

To find the percent of her weekly income she spends eating out, we must divide the amount of money she spend by the total amount of money Shelby earns. Next, we need to multiply by 100%.


`(15.20)/(190) * 100\% = 0.08 * 100\% = 8\%`
The answer is 8%.
