Answer 1

A) 65%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

• 65%

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, see attached the chart corresponding to this question.

The chart is a pie chart that shows the percentage composition of the expenses and uses color to identify each item.

The items corresponding to taxes are:

• Federal tax: 29%
• State tax: 6%

All the other expenses are not taxes.

Add the two items that are taxes: 29% + 6% = 35%.

Hence, the expenses that are not taxes can be calculated by difference:

• 100% - 35% = 65%.
