What % Of Total Sales Will Be Spent On Expenses? Total Sales = $21,610. Expenses=14,610. Question 2 --- What % Would The Total Expenditures Increase If Wages Were Reduced By 10 % And Utilities Increased By 40%? Wages 6430 Utilities 2780

1. 14610/21610*100% ≈ 67.6% 2. Assume total expenses are made up of Wages (6430), Utilities (2780) and Other (14610-6430-2780 = 5400).
  The reduction in Wages would be 10%*6430 = 643.
  The increase in Utilities would be 40%*2780 = 1112.
  The increase in total expenditures would be 1112-643 = 469.
  The percentage increase in total expenditures is 469/14610*100% ≈ 3.21%
