Kara categorized her spending for this month into four categories: Rent, Food, Fun, and Other. The amounts she spent in each category areFood - $222Rent - $278Fun - $167Other - $333What percent of her total spending did she spend on Rent?

Respuesta :

We have to calculate the total amount (T) she spent as follows:

[tex]T=222+278+167+333=1000[/tex]

Therefore, 1000 is 100%.

Then, we have to build the following relation:

[tex]\frac{1000}{100}=\frac{278}{x}[/tex]

Isolating for x:

[tex]10=\frac{278}{x}[/tex][tex]x=\frac{278}{10}=27.8[/tex]

Answer: 27.8%
