Answer:

Riley spent $750 in clothing and $1,000 in food.

Explanation:

The image attached shows the way Riley spent her budget.

Notice that 15% of $5,000 is spent in clothing, and 20% of $5,000 is spent in food.

Clothing:
0.15(5,000)=750

Food:
0.20(5,000)=1,000

Therefore, Riley spent $750 in clothing and $1,000 in food.

The ratios are

Clothing:
(750)/(5,000)

Food:
(1,000)/(5,000)

Riley has a total budget of $5,000. Write a ratio that compares the part of his budget-example-1
