Answer 1

The best estimate from the options given for the amount spent on clothing and entertainment are $210 and $140 respectively.

A.)

Percentage spent on clothing = 27%

Total amount spent = 704

Amount spent on clothing = 0.27 × 704 = 190.08

Hence, the best estimate for the amount spent on clothing is $210.

B.)

Percentage spent on Entertainment = 18%

Total amount spent = 704

Amount spent on Entertainment = 0.18 × 704 = 126.72

Hence, the best estimate from the options given is $140.
