Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out the total amount

[tex](2,020+1,155+699+862)=\$4,736[/tex]

step 2

What percentage of the total amount is spent on Goods?

we know that

The total amount of $4,736 represent the 100%

so

using proportion

Find out what percentage represent the amount of $699 (Goods)

[tex]\frac{\$4,736}{100\%}=\frac{\$699}{x} \\\\x=699(100)/4,736\\\\x=14.76\%[/tex]

Round to the nearest whole number

[tex]14.76\%=15\%[/tex]
