five questions related to interpreting the data. Let's solve each one step by step and explain the reasoning.

Question 1: How much money is spent on food?
-
Given: Food = 25% of $4000
-
Calculation:
$$
25\% \times 4000 = \frac{25}{100} \times 4000 = 0.25 \times 4000 = 1000
$$
✔ Answer: $1000 is spent on food.
---
Question 2: What percent of the total budget is spent on housing and transportation combined?
- Housing = 30%
- Transportation = 15%
- Combined = 30% + 15% =
45%
✔ Answer: 45% of the budget is spent on housing and transportation.
---
Question 3: How much money is saved each month?
- Savings = 20% of $4000
- Calculation:
$$
20\% \times 4000 = \frac{20}{100} \times 4000 = 0.20 \times 4000 = 800
$$
✔ Answer: $800 is saved each month.
---
Question 4: Which category has the highest percentage?
- Look at the percentages:
- Housing: 30%
- Food: 25%
- Transportation: 15%
- Savings: 20%
- Other: 10%
- The highest is
Housing at 30%.
✔ Answer: Housing has the highest percentage.
---
Question 5: If the family decides to increase their savings by 5%, what will be the new amount saved?
- Original savings = 20%
- New savings = 20% + 5% =
25%
- Amount saved = 25% of $4000
$$
0.25 \times 4000 = 1000
$$
✔ Answer: The new amount saved will be $1000.
---
✔ Final Answers Summary:
1.
$1000 is spent on food.
2.
45% is spent on housing and transportation combined.
3.
$800 is saved each month.
