To find the percent of advertising spent on the Yellow Pages, we need to divide the amount spent on the Yellow Pages by the total advertising expenses and then multiply by 100.
The total advertising expenses are the sum of the amounts spent on each advertising method:
$725 (Newspaper) + $525 (Radio) + $700 (Yellow Pages) + $425 (Local flyers) = $2375.
Now, we can calculate the percentage spent on the Yellow Pages:
($700 / $2375) × 100 ≈ 29.47%.
Therefore, approximately 29.47% of John's advertising was spent on the Yellow Pages.
To find the percentage of John's advertising spent on the Yellow Pages, you need to divide the amount spent on the Yellow Pages by the total amount spent on advertising, and then multiply by 100.
