Respuesta :

Answer:

C. 32%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to determine the amount they spent on entertainment and food:

Salary $2,700

Taxes: 10%: $270

Fixed expenses: $1,161

Savings: $405

$2,700-$270-$1,161-$405= $864

Alycia spent $864 on entertainment and food. Now, you have to find the percent of her income that this amount represents:

($864/$2,700)*100= 32%

According to this, the answer is that the percent of her income that was spent on entertainment and food is 32%.
