Answer 1

In this problem we have to calculate the total spences so we add all the costs so:

`\begin{gathered} T=333+417+500+250 \\ T=1500 \end{gathered}`

So 1500 is the 100% so now we can calculate which percentage correspount to 250 so:

`\begin{gathered} 1500\to100 \\ 250\to x \end{gathered}`

so the equation is:

`\begin{gathered} x=(250\cdot100)/(1500) \\ x=16.66 \end{gathered}`

So she spend 16.66% in fun
