Answer 1

To determine the amount of the money that should be spent for the rent, multiply the operating budget with the given percentage in its equal form. Thus,                          
                                         Rent = (0.15) x ($45,000) = $6750
Thus, the answer to this item is letter B. 

Answer 2

15% in 45000
(15/100) * 45000
$ 6750
