Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to add all of the numbers to find the total budget. The total budget is $1,116. Then, to find the percentages, you need to divide each sections' money by the budget. For example, for 'contributions', you will do $175.76/$1,116 and get 0.157. But, this is a decimal. To make it into a percentage, you move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right. .157 = 15.7% So, for the 'contributions' section, the answer is 15.7%. Another example. For the 'housing' section, the amount was $350.84. Divide that by $1,116.


(350.84)/(1,116)=0.314

Move the decimal point 2 spaces to the right -- 31.4%

I hope you understand how I got these answers
