What percent of her total spending did she spend on Food? Answer to the nearest whole percent.
To find the percentage of her total spending spent on food, we need to divide the amount spent on food by the total spending and then multiply by 100.
Total spending = $289 (Food) + $361 (Rent) + $217 (Fun) + $433 (Other) = $1300
Percentage spent on Food = ($289 / $1300) * 100 ≈ 22.2%
Therefore, Kara spent approximately 22% of her total spending on food.
