Question

What percent of the total budget does the family spend on the rent and utilities? A. 1.10% B. 45.2% C. 41.1% D. 82.6%​

Answer 1

Answer is B

Explanation:

To find the percent that the family spent on the rent and utilities, you first add the utilities and rent amount, $225+$875 = $1100

After this you try to find the total sum of everything in the pie chart which adds up to $2432.50.

Finally, in order to calculate the percentage:

1100 ÷ 2432.50 × 100

Answer = 45.2%
