Answer 1

Answer: Rent = 29%, Food = 21%, Fun = 17%

Explanation:

Rent = $433

Food = $320

Fun = $260

Other = $487

TOTAL = $1500

`(Rent)/(Total)=(433)/(1500)\quad =0.2886\quad =\large\boxed{29\%}\\\\\\(Food)/(Total)=(320)/(1500)\quad =0.2133\quad =\large\boxed{21\%}\\\\\\(Fun)/(Total)=(260)/(1500)\quad =0.1733\quad =\large\boxed{17\%}`
