Answer 1

Answer:

23.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to find the total expenses as well as the amount of money spent on housing.

The total expenses are simply the sum of the prices of all the items listed under "expenses":

1080 + 385 + 200 + 970 + 230 + 128 + 145 + 210 + 400 + 0 + 410 + 300 + 100 + 0 = $4558

The amount of expenses on housing is $1080. So, divide this by the total and multiply by 100:

(1080 / 4558) * 100 = 23.7%

Answer 2

Answer:

23.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total expenses, add all the values under 'Expenses' section:

1080+385+200+970+230+128+145+210+400+410+300+100

= 4,558

% or housing:

1080/4558 × 100

23.6946029%
