Question

A​ student's cost for last semester at her community college was ​$2000. She spent ​$340 of that on books. What percent of last​ semester's college costs was spent on​ books?

Answer 1

17%

Explanation:

2000-340= 1660

1660/2000= 83% (1660 is 83% of 2000)

100%-83%= 17% so 17% of 2000 is 340.
