The complete question is shown in the attached image.

Answer:

(1) Therefore, Abby's total spent on transportation is $222.2

(2) Based on spending guideline, she should spend $192.5 on transportation.

(3) She spends $29.7 over the guideline.

Explanation:

From the attachment:

The sum of the total monthly amounts spent for car payment and the amount spent on gas fuel results to the total monthly amount spent on transportation.

This is:

120 + 37.9 + 28.4 + 35.9 = $222.2

(1) Therefore, Abby's total spent on transportation is $222.2

Based on the spending guideline of 11 percent, she should spend just:

11% of $1750

= $1750 × 11/100

= $175×11/10

= $192.5

(2) Based on spending guideline, she should spend $192.5 on transportation.

Difference between her spending and the guideline is:

$222.2 - $192.5 = $29.7

(3) She spends $29.7 over the guideline.
