Question

Rich budgets $2,500 in expenses for the month of January. He set up the following groups:

Fixed: 60%
Variable: 40%

and the following categories and percents:

Food: 30%
Transportation: 23%
Utilities: 22%
Entertainment: 13%
Personal: 12%

How much did Rich budget for transportation in January?

Answer 1

60% of $2500 = 1500 for fixed expenses

 

Transportation accounts for 23% of the fixed budgetted amount (1500) = 1500 x .23 = $345.

Answer 2

 Hello, Minaj

 

His budget is 2500

The percentage he spend on transportation is 23%. So, as a decimal that will be .23

 

I will come back to this question later.....
