Question

A.1.4%
B.16.0%
C.14.6%
D.17.4%

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 17.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a percent, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100.

The part is the sum of Tim's Chevron and Car:

$23 + $272 = $295 = part

The total is $1695 = whole

percent = part/whole * 100%

percent = 295/1695 * 100%

percent = 0.174041 * 100%

percent = 17.4%

Answer: D. 17.4%
