Answer:

None of the choices are correct

Forest Granger spends 49.3% of his weekly food budget eating out

Step-by-step explanation:

Forest Granger's weekly earnings = $850

Budget for food = 21% = 0.21 * $850 = $178.5

Amount spent eating out = $88

Percentage of weekly food budget spent eating out is:

(88/178.5) * 100

= 49.3
