Answer:
percent of paint cost: 24.45%
percent of hardware cost: 8.14%
total percent of paint and hardware cost: 32.59%
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the cost of the lumber, the paint and the hardware:
[tex]total\ cost=\$145.86+\$52.91+\$17.63\\total\ cost=\$216.4[/tex]
If $216.4 is the total cost of the supplies bought by the theater group to construct the set of a play, then the percent of the cost of the paint is:
[tex]\%paint\ cost=\frac{52.91*100}{216.4}=24.45\%[/tex]
And the percent of the cost of the hardware is:
[tex]\%hardware\ cost=\frac{17.63*100}{216.4}=8.14\%[/tex]
And the total percent of paint cost and hardware cost is:
[tex]=\%24.45+\%8.14=\%32.59[/tex]
