Answer 1

Explanation

The first step is to add up all of the numbers to get the total budget.

Total Budget = 858 + 429 + 924 + 198 + 363 + 528 =3,300

Then to find the percentage for a certain category it is:

`(Budget Category)/(Budget Total) times 100%`

So, 429 / 3300 x 100% = 0.13 x 100% = 13% Car Expense
