Answer 1

Without the original rent amount and grocery budget, we cannot determine George's new rent after the $97.25 increase, the adjusted grocery budget, or the percent decrease in the grocery budget. More information is needed to provide accurate calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine George's new rent amount after the increase, we need to know the original rent amount. Since this information is not provided, we cannot accurately calculate the new rent amount. However, assuming the only increase is the additional $97.25, without having the original rent amount, we can only assert that the rent has increased by that dollar value, but we cannot determine the total new rent amount.

Regarding the budgeted amount for groceries adjusted for the rent increase, we would need to know the original grocery budget to say how it is affected. Without further details, we cannot determine if George will adjust his grocery budget, and if he does, by what amount or percentage. Therefore, the answer is (d) Not enough information provided to determine the new grocery budget.

As for the percent decrease for the grocery budget, we again face a similar issue. Without the original grocery budget and confirmation of the budget changes, we cannot calculate the percentage decrease. Hence, the answer is (d) Not enough information provided to determine the percent decrease.
