Answer: Therefore, Option 'A' is correct.
Step-By-Step explanation:
Since we have given that
Amount spent on equipment = $36
Amount spent on fees = $158
Amount spent on transportation = $59
Total amount spent by them is given by
[tex]36+158+59=\$253[/tex]
Percent cost of equipment of the total amount is given by
[tex]\frac{36}{253}\times 100=14.2\%[/tex]
Percent cost of fees of the total amount is given by
[tex]\frac{158}{253}\times 100\\\\=62.45\%[/tex]
Percent cost of transportation of the total amount is given by
[tex]\frac{59}{100}\times 100\\\\=23.3\%[/tex]
Hence, Percent cost of the total spent on each is
14%, 62%, 23%.
Therefore, Option 'A' is correct.
