Explanation:

Answer 2

The combined amount is $14871.21.

Explanation:

It is given that, the total yearly income of gentry family is $29742.42

The % charge on income for food is 20%.

The % charge on income for housing is 30%.

The amount in dollar from % form is given by,

=
`((percent form)/(100))(annual income)`

For annual food,

=
`((20)/(100))(29742.42)`

= $5948.484

For housing budgets,

=
`((30)/(100))(29742.42)`

= $8922.726

Thus the combined amount is,

=
`8922.726 + 5948.484 = 14871.21`

= $14871.21
