Explanation:

Christy Peterson's total income last year was $77,340. Of that amount, she spent $7,240 on transportation costs and $2,100 on clothing. What percent of Christy's total income did she spend on transportation and clothing combined? Round your answer to the nearest percent.

7,240 + 2,100 = $9,340

9,340 / 77,340 = 0.120765

0.120765 * 100 = 12.0765%

rounded = 12%
