Question 319313
On average, 10.8% of the money consumers spent in supermarkets in England goes to the purchase of snacks and baked goods,which is four times the percent of money spent on cereals and rice. What percentage of the money spent by consumers in England's supermarkets is for the purchase of cereal and rice? 

-------------------------------------
Let "x" be % spet for cereal and rice.
---
Equation:
10.8 = 4x
x = 10.8/4
x = 2.7% (% spent on cereal and rice)
