Answer:

21%

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find out the total amount of the budget

$(\$1,302+\$1,550+\$558+\$124+\$124+\$372+\$558+\$558+\$248+\$310+\$496)=\$6,200$

step 2

To find out what percentage of the budget is spent on housing, divide the amount spent on housing by the total budget and multiply by 100

$( \$1,302/ \$6,200)100=21\%$
