Trinidad earns 2700 per month If she spends 1100 on the rent

Trinidad earns $2,700 per month. If she spends $1,100 on the rent for her apartment, to the nearest percent what percent is spent on rent?

A. 20%

B. 41%

C. 51%

D. 65%

Solution

D. This problem needs to be completed in two steps. First, you need to determine what percent of chocolates have nuts, then you subtract that from 100% to determine what percent do not have nuts. So, dividing 9 by 45 results in the percent that have nuts, which is 20%. Subtracting that number from 100% gives the correct answer: 80% of the chocolates do not have nuts.
