Answer 1

The rent and savings account for more than 50% of the budget

Explanation:

It's easy to get confused for this answer because rent and savings ($900 + $600) is 50% of their savings, but it says more. The way to show your work is basically just going through all the answer choices, adding them together, and then multiplying the percentage.

900+600=1500

3000x0.50=1500

That is exactly 50% but not more

Hope this helps!
