Answer:

A. 6.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage is a part of one hundred written with %. If 100% of Jerry's income each month is $2,970.00 and Jerry spends a part of this income ($200) on heathcare, what is the percentage of his income he spends?

We will divide 200/2,970 or the $ part/ $ whole which equals 0.067. This decimal can be converted to a percent by multiplying it by 100.

100(0.067)=6.7%
