What percent of the total amount that Lisa spent was the price of the skateboard? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

A.

62.7%

B.

72.8%

C.

75%

D.

Percent means out of 100 so

x%=x/100

Lisa spent 67 and 25

what percent was price of skateboard

so percent of total price

total price=skateboard+helmet=67+25=92

total (skateboard and helmet) = 92

then percent out of 100

67 out of 92=67/92

one way is to divide fully and get

0.728261/1

make denomentator 100

multiply by 100/100

72.8261/100=72.8261%

the answer is about 72.8%

the answer is B
