D. Because Karen spends $450 on monthly bills. Of this total amount, 12% is for phone service,
1
10
is for Internet service, and
2
9
is for utilities. If the rest of the total amount is for food, how much does Karen have for food?

Answer=

D

Explanation

because of the dot/line at the top of the number it means it is a continuous same number

for example, 0.3 with a dot/line on top means it is 0.333333...

so 0.55...+0.33...=0.88...

and as it is a decimal that is in the range of 1-100 its like a percentage so it is 88/100
