The monthly budget for the front of the house is $51,000. You spent 17% of the budget on fresh flowers. How much did you spend on fresh flowers. Please put into a proportion

Firstly we need to find out how much is 17% from 51,000:

51 000 * 17% =
= 51 000 * 17/100 =
= 510 * 17 =
= 8 670

So I spent $8 670 on the fresh flowers. Putting it into a proportion:

51 000 : 8 670

We can simplify it:

5 100 : 867              (divided by 2)
1 700 : 289              (divided by 3)
100 : 17                  (divided by 17)

Answer: I spent $8 670 on the fresh flowers, which was 17/100 of the whole budget.
