Multiply your answer by 100 (or move the decimal point two places to the right) to find the percent.
To find the percentage of the Wagner family's real estate bill that went to the high school district, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine the total amount paid by the Wagner family to the high school district, which is $150.
2. Calculate the total amount paid by the Wagner family for the entire real estate bill, which is $600.
3. Divide the amount paid to the high school district by the total amount paid for the real estate bill:
$150 / $600 = 0.25
4. Convert the decimal to a percentage by multiplying it by 100:
0.25 * 100 = 25%
Therefore, the Wagner family paid 25% of their real estate bill to the high school district.
