What is percentage?

A percentage is a portion of a whole expressed as a number between 0 and 100 rather than as a fraction.

According to the given question.

The amount of money the boy initially had = $30.00

The amount of money he spent on tickets = $6

Amount of money spent of drink = $2.50

Amount of money spent on cotton candy =$1.50

Amount of money spent on burger = $4

Amount of money spent on souvenir  = $3.00

Amount of money spent on shirt = $11.0

Now,

The total money spent on non-food items

= $6 +$3 + $11

= $20

So, the amount paid as a tax for non food items = 5% of $20 = [tex]\frac{5}{100} (20)[/tex]=$1

And,

The total amount spent including tax

= $1 + $20 + $2.50 + $1.50 + $4.00

= $29

Therefore,

The amount of money is left = $30 - $29 = 1

Hence, the boy have only $1.
