Percentage of plutocrat's earnings all over the place (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
at sea
'all over the place' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'percentage of plutocrat's earnings' is the wordplay.
'AT SEA' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for at sea that I've seen before include "Lost or confused - on the briny?" , "All bothered and bewildered" , "Where a packet might be" , "Not knowing whether you're coming or going" , "On a ship (out of one's depth?)" .)
