Answer: 92.3%

Explanation:

The total budget which is the sum of all the expenditure by the household will be the addition of the $216 spent on firecrackers and $18 on bandages. This will be:

= $216 + $18

= $234

Price of a firecracker = $6

Price of bandages = $2 a pack

Number of firecrackers = $216/$6 = 36

Number of bandages = $18/$2 = 9

CPI market basket is 36 firecrackers and 9 bandages.

Therefore, the percentage of a household's budget spent on firecrackers in the base year will be:

= Expenditures on firecrackers/Total expenditure

= $216 / $234

= 92.3%

Although Bill spent most of his allowance, he could still ask someone else, sell his ticket and or even go by himself. I do not think Tony could be held liable even if he knew. It was not a nice thing to flake on Bill, but ultimately, it was Lorene's decision to make.</span>
