Answer 1

ANSWER

The percentage of total budget spent on entertainment is 15%

Explanation:

Given information

Rent = $350

Utilities = $125

Child care = $100

Food = $175

Entertainment = $150

Transportation = $50

Other = $50

Step 1: Find the total amount of the budget

Total amount = $(350 + 125 + 100 + 175 + 150 + 50 + 50)

Total amount = $ 1000.

The next thing is to find the percentage of the total budget spent on entertainment using the below formula

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \% of total budget spent on entertainment = }\frac{amount\text{ spent on entertainment}}{\text{total budget}}*\text{ 100\%} \\ \text{Amount spent on entertainment = \$150} \\ \text{ \% of total budget spent on entertainment = }(150)/(1000)\text{ }*\text{ 100 \%} \\ \text{ \% of total budget spent on entertainment = 0.15 x 100\%} \\ \text{ \% of total budget spent on entertainment = 15\%} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the percentage of total budget spent on entertainment is 15%
