31. Find the percent of the total spent on each of the following:
Equipment $258, Fees $362, Transportation $153

  Percentage expenditure in different heads will be,

Expenditure in different heads have been given as,

Total expenditure = $258 + $362 + $153

                              = $773

Expression to calculate the percentage expenditure,

Percentage expenditure =

Percentage expenditure on equipment =

                                                                  = 33.4%

Percentage expenditure in paying fees =

                                                                  = 46.8%

Percentage expenditure on transportation =

                                                                        = 19.8%
