Question A restaurant serves a meal for $5.75. The cost of ingredients is $0.83. To the nearest tenth of a percent, what percentage of the serving price is raw ingredients?(1 point) %

1 answer

To find the percentage of the serving price that is raw ingredients, you can divide the cost of ingredients by the serving price and multiply by 100.

This can be expressed as (cost of ingredients / serving price) x 100.

Substituting the given values, we have (0.83 / 5.75) x 100.

Calculating, we find that (0.1443) x 100 = 14.43.

To the nearest tenth of a percent, the percentage of the serving price that is raw ingredients is approximately 14.4%.
