Answer 3

To solve this, we can use a proportion. We know 24%+18.4% = 42.4% of her money went to food and entertainment.

Answer 4

So, now we need to multiply here toal money by the fraction she spent of food and entertainment.

Answer 5

*her total

Answer 6

that's $13,000 * 0.424 = $5,512

Answer 7

^^what @HarryPotter5777 said

Recall that percentage is just means parts "per 100". So divide 42.4% by 100, which is 0.424. Multiply this ratio by the amount she has. .

(0.424)*13000=$5512
