Answer 1

Kate organized her spending month in four categories:

Food - 422

Other - 633

Rent - 528

Fun - 317

The amount of the total spending is the sum of all the categories:

So 422+633+528+317 = 1900 total spending

If we want to know the percent that she spent on rent, use

Rent/total of spending

528/1900= 0.2778

Rounded to the nearest whole percent:

0.2778 = 27,78% = 28%
