We can solve this mathematical problem by the following process.

The total expense of the wedding is $(2850+1500+1430+500+820+800+1100+9600+400) = $19000.

We know that the expense on apparel is $2850.

Answer 2

Answer:

15% of the total wedding expenses were spent on apparel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the wedding expenses on various things.

The total expenses of the wedding = $19,000.

Tabulating all the expenses on different items:

$\begin{array}{ccc}S.No&Item&Amount spend(\ )\\1&Apparel~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&2,850\\2&Flowers~~~~~~~~~~~~~&1,500\\3&Photography~~~~~~~&1,430\\4&Stationary~~~~~~~~~&500\\5&Rings~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&820\\6&Ceremony~~~~~~~~~~&800\\7&Music~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&1,100\\8&Reception~~~~~~~~~~~&9,600\\9&Favors~ and~ Gifts&400\end{array}$

Given the expense on apparel = $2850.

The percentage of the total wedding expenses spent on apparel is

$\mathbi{\frac{Apparel }{Sum} \times 100}$

$\mathbi{=\frac{2850 }{19000} \times 100}$

$\mathbi{=\frac{285 }{19} } =15$

Hence, the percentage spent on apparel is 15%.
