Answer:
a) 5%
b) 24%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) You buy a game for $40, and the sales tax is $2. What percent of the game price are you paying in sales tax?
Percentage you are paying in sales tax
= Sales tax / Sale price of the game × 100
= $2/$40 × 100
= 5%
b) Your doctor told you to eat 25 grams of fiber each day. You had 6 grams of fiber for breakfast. What percent of the 25 grams of fiber have you eaten so far?
The percent of 25 grams of fiber you have eaten so far =
6 grams/25 grams × 100
= 24%
