Respuesta :

Answer:

15.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of T-Shirt = $6.50

Shipping Cost of T-Shirt = $1.00

To find percentage the shipping cost is OF the T-shirt Cost, we have to divide:

Shipping Cost

by

T shirt cost

Then multiply by 100.

Let's do this. Shown below:

[tex]\frac{1}{6.50}\\=0.1538\\=0.1538*100\\=15.38[/tex]

That is, 15.35%, but we need to round to nearest tenth (1 decimal place).

So, the shipping fee is 15.4% of tshirt cost.
