Kara categorized her spending for this month into four categories: Rent, Food, Fun, and Other. The amounts she spent in each category areFood : $244Rent : $306Other : $ 367Fun : $183What percent of her total spending did she spend on Food?

Respuesta :

First, we have to calculate the total amount of money she spent:

[tex]244+306+367+183=1100[/tex]

$1,100 is 100% of the money she spent.

With the latter, we can calculate the percent of Food in her total spending by building the following relation:

[tex]\frac{1100}{100}=\frac{244}{x}[/tex]

Where x is the percent of Food.

Isolating for x:

[tex]\frac{11}{1}=\frac{244}{x}[/tex][tex]x=\frac{244}{11}[/tex][tex]x\approx22.18[/tex]

Answer: 22.18%
