Answer 1

Given the following question:

Total budget is 91,000

Transportation = 3640

To find the answers we have to find what percentage of 91,000 is 3640. We will use the formula...

$\frac{n2}{n1}\times100$

To find the answer.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3640}{91000}\times100 \\ 3640\div9100=0.04 \\ 0.04\times100=4 \end{gathered}$

4% of 91000 is 3640

Food = 12,740

$\begin{gathered} \frac{12740}{91000}\times100 \\ 12740\div91000=0.14 \\ 0.14\times100=14 \\ =14 \end{gathered}$

14% of 91000 is 12740

Housing = 17,290

$\begin{gathered} \frac{17290}{91000}\times100 \\ 17290\div91000=0.19 \\ 0.19\times100=19 \end{gathered}$

19% of 91000 is 17290
