Percentage problem 5

Mary has a monthly salary of $1200. She spends $280 per month on food. What percent of her monthly salary does she spend on food?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The part of her salary that is spent on food is $280 out of her monthly salary of $1200percent

= part / whole

= 280 / 1200 = 0.23 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Multiply and divide 0.23 by 100 to convert in percent

percent = 0.23 * 100 / 100

              = 23 / 100

               = 23%

Hence she spend 23% of her salary.
