What is the percentage? For all my math enthusiasts. . .

My boyfriend and I are pretty young, and make 2500 a month collectively. 800 goes towards bills, and 300 towards food. What percentage of our income goes towards bills (food included)? And how did you get your answer? I am terrible at mouth, please inform me, don't judge me.

It’s 44percent, saucy. Here’s a really easy way. First add your food and bills. 800+300 is 1100. And so your question is “1100 is what percent of 2500?” Which looks like this : 1100 = x/100 * 2500.
So you’ll divide both side by 100 to get rid of that fraction. 110000= x*2500. And then divide both by 2500 to get x alone. X=44 🙂
