Given:
Amount spent on plane ticket = £650
Amount spent on airport tax = $125
To find:
What percentage of the total cost does Simon spend on airport tax?
Solution:
Amount spent on plane ticket = £650 = $ 650*1.36 = $884
Total amount spent = $ 884 + 125 = $ 1009
Percentage spent on airport tax = (125/ 1009) * 100 = 12.4%
Therefore, the percentage of total cost spent on airport tax is 12.4%.
