The Rivera family spend ( 9% + 3% = 12% ) of their income ( $4800 ) on transport, we need to know how mucvh this is...

[tex]12\text{ percent of 4800 = }\frac{12}{100}\text{ x 4800 = 12 x 48 = \$ 576 }[/tex]

Therefore it's clear the Rivera family spend $ 576 monthly and the Wagner spend $ 560 on transportation. Turning the wagner's money into percentage, we do...

[tex]\frac{560}{4000}\text{ x 100 = 14 \%}[/tex]
