hello

the question presented here deals with percentages

the percentage of a variable is the ratio of the value of that function to the total variable multiplied by 100

total categories = food + rent + other +fun

sum the value of everything

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{total }=\text{ food }+\text{ rent }+\text{ fun }+\text{ other} \\ \text{total }=\text{ 356 }+\text{ 444 }+\text{ 533 }+\text{ 267} \\ \text{total }=\text{ \$1600} \end{gathered}[/tex]

she spends a total of $1600 for that month

the percentage of her total spending spent on rent = (rent / total spending) * 100

[tex]\text{percentage of rent }=\text{ }\frac{rent}{total\text{ spending}}\text{ }\times\text{ 100}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{percentage of rent }=\text{ }\frac{444}{1600}\text{ }\times\text{ 100} \\ \text{percentage of rent }=\text{ 27.75\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]

the percentage of her monthly spending spent on rent is 27.75%
