Answer 1

below

Explanation:

Here's a completed table based on the information provided:

Category Amount (in dollars)

Transportation 36% * 2,300 * .70%

Snacks X

Rewards Y

Transportation: 36% * 2,300 * .70% = 82.32

Let X = amount spent on snacks

Let Y = amount spent on rewards

Since more money was spent on snacks than rewards, we have X > Y

The total spent on transportation, snacks, and rewards must be equal to 36% of the yearly budget:

82.32 + X + Y = 36% * 2,300 = 828

Therefore, X + Y = 828 - 82.32 = 745.68

Since X > Y, we can set X = 400 and Y = 345.68, for example. These are just possible amounts of money Mrs. Smith could have spent in each category.
