Answer 1

Observe the given data carefully.

Krystal's total expenditure is $2500,

`T=2500`

Given that the percentage expenditure on Fun is,

`15\text{ percent}`

Obtain the 15% of total expenditure,

`\begin{gathered} =15\text{ percent of }2500 \\ =(15)/(100)\cdot2500 \\ =15\cdot25 \\ =375 \end{gathered}`

Thus, it can be concluded that Krystal spent $375 on Fun.
