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.
