Question

nadine categorized her spending for this month into four categories: rent, food, fun, and other. the percents she spent in each category are pictured here.
if nadine spent a total of $2800 this month, how much did she spend on fun?
$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the amount spent on Fun

The percentage spent on Fun is \(29\%\). To find the amount, we use the formula \(Amount = Total\ amount\times Percentage\).
The total amount is \(2800\) and the percentage for Fun is \(29\%=\frac{29}{100} = 0.29\).
So, \(Amount=2800\times0.29\).

Step2: Perform the multiplication

\(2800\times0.29=(2000 + 800)\times0.29=2000\times0.29+800\times0.29\)
\(2000\times0.29 = 580\), \(800\times0.29=(8\times100)\times0.29 = 8\times29=232\)
\(580+232 = 812\)

Answer:

\(812\)
