Answer:

C. 4.02%

Explanation:

Anna spends $4.65 each weekday (20 weekdays/month) on coffee and buys a bag of coffee for $8.99 that lasts 6 months. Her monthly income is $2,350. What percent of her monthly income does she spend on coffee? 1) 0.58% 2)4.34% 3) 4.02% 4) 4.65%

She spends $4.65/weekday, and there are 20 weekdays/month

In 1 month, she spends:

$4.65/weekday * 20 weekdays/month = $93/month

In 6 months, she spends 6 * $93 = $558

She buys a bag of coffee for $8.99 that lasts 6 months.

The total cost of all coffee in 6 months is:

$558 + $8.99 = $566.99

Her income in 1 month is $2,350

Her income in 6 months is 6 * $2,350 = $14,100

The percent is:

566.99/14,100 * 100% = 4.02%

Answer: 3) 4.02%
