A pool of money was collected among five friends each of which contributed $1.7 . You joined as the sixth member and contributed $15.2 . What percent of the total pool did you contribute?

Sagot :

"64.14%" is the percentage of the total pool did you contribute

According to the question,

→ The total five friend money will be:

= [tex]5\times 1.7[/tex]

= [tex]8.5[/tex]

Only sixth member is "$15.2".

then,

→ The total six friends money will be:

= [tex]8.5+15.2[/tex]

= [tex]23.7[/tex]

hence,

→ The percentage will be:

= [tex]\frac{15.2}{23.7}\times 100[/tex]

= [tex]0.64136\times 100[/tex]
