Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

The percentage spent on food is \(22\%\). To convert a percentage to a decimal, divide by \(100\). So \(22\%=\frac{22}{100} = 0.22\).

Step2: Calculate the amount spent on food

The total amount spent is \(T = 2000\). The amount spent on food \(A\) is given by the formula \(A=\text{Percentage (in decimal)}\times\text{Total amount}\). Substitute the values: \(A=0.22\times2000\).
