Question

hil spent $21 of his $115 pocket money on eating out for one meal. What percent of Phil's pocket money did he spend on eating out for one meal? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Explanation:

for % questions always find 100% and/or 1%. everything else can be calculated based on these.

100% = $115

1% = 100%/100 = 115/100 = $1.15

how many % are $21 ?

as many as times 1.15 (1%) fits into 21 :

21/1.15 = 18.26086957...% ≈ 18.26%
