Respuesta :

Answer: The first set of expenses is 69.47% of second set of expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount spend by Maria on lottery tickets every week = $21

Amount spend by Maria on food every month = $131

so, Amount spend by Maria on lottery in a year would be

[tex]21\times 52=\$1092[/tex]

Amount spend by Maria on food in a year would be

[tex]131\times 12=\$1572[/tex]

So, the first set of expenses is what % of the second set of expenses.

So, the required percentage would be

[tex]\dfrac{1092}{1572}\times 100\\\\=69.47\%[/tex]

Hence, the first set of expenses is 69.47% of second set of expenses.
