Which gives you a reasonable answer? Remember it has to be less than half of 140,000.

Thank you Ms. Sue very much.

Good evening!

To find the amount budgeted for Auto, Insurance, and Entertainment combined, you can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the value of each category based on the percentages given:

Auto = 12% of 140,000
Insurance = 10% of 140,000
Entertainment = 13% of 140,000

2. Multiply each percentage by the total annual income:

Auto = 0.12 x 140,000 = 16,800
Insurance = 0.10 x 140,000 = 14,000
Entertainment = 0.13 x 140,000 = 18,200

3. Add the calculated values together:

16,800 + 14,000 + 18,200 = 49,000

Thus, the amount budgeted for Auto, Insurance, and Entertainment combined is $49,000.
