Answer 1

Answer:

=28%

Explanation:

Kara total income is the aggregate of her total spending. Her total income is rent $278 + Food $222, + fun $167, + $333= $1000.

Kara expenditure on rent is $278

As a percentage of her total income = rent/ total income x 100

=$278/$1000 x 100

=0.278 x 100

=27.8%

=28%
