Exactly 15% of her income will go towards entertainment

Answer 1

Exactly 85% of her income will go towards college savings and entertainment

Explanation:

Kensie's college savings are 600/800×100% = 75% of her budget.

Kensie's cell phone bill is 80/800×100% = 10% of her budget.

Kensie's entertainment is 120/800×100% = 15% of her budget.

Her total of savings and entertainment is 75% +15% = 90% of her budget. Savings and entertainment do not total 85% of Kensie's budget.
