Adding all the expenses, will give us a total of $1695.
 
To get the percent which is allocated for movie and the baby sitting:


Add the amount for the two then divide that to the total then multiply it by 100%
= 12 + 14 / 1695 x 100%
= 26 / 1695 x 100%
= 0.015339233 x 100%

=1.5%
The answer is 1.5%
