The circle graph represents a family's monthly budget. If the total monthly budget is $6,500.00, how much more does the family spend on housing than food?
GRAPH: Other: 42%, Food: 19%, Bills: 14%, Housing: 25%.
OPTIONS
a $1,235.00
b $1,625.00
c $390.00 (THIS ONE)
d $715,00
Am I correct?
amount spent on housing which is more than food = 25% - 19% = 6%
6% of $6,500.00
= .06(6500) dollars
= $390
you are right
I think its C?
Thanks!!
To find out how much more the family spends on housing than food, you need to calculate the amounts spent on housing and food separately and then subtract the amount spent on food from the amount spent on housing.
First, calculate the amount spent on housing:
Total monthly budget: $6,500.00
Percentage allocated to housing: 25%
Amount spent on housing = $6,500.00 x 25% = $1,625.00
Next, calculate the amount spent on food:
Total monthly budget: $6,500.00
Percentage allocated to food: 19%
Amount spent on food = $6,500.00 x 19% = $1,235.00
Finally, subtract the amount spent on food from the amount spent on housing:
$1,625.00 (housing) - $1,235.00 (food) = $390.00
Yes, you are correct. The correct answer is c) $390.00.
