Question

The graph below shows a household’s budget. If the household spends $2,000 a month, which of the following statements is not true?

The household spends $260 per month on the car.
The household spends $600 per month on rent.
The household spends $240 per month on food.
The household puts $200 in savings each month.

Answer 1

The THIRD statement is not true.
$2000 (spends a month)
The 5% of $2000 is only $100 for food.

The first statement is true "The household spend $260 per month on the car".
13 % of $2000 = $260

The second statement is true "The household spend $600 per month for rent".
30% of $2000 = $600

The fourth statement is also true "The household spend $200 in savings each month"
10% of $2000 = $200
