if catori spent a total of $2300 this month, how much did she spend on food?
$

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find the amount spent on food, we need to convert the percentage of food spending (23%) to a decimal. We do this by dividing the percentage by 100. So, \(23\%=\frac{23}{100} = 0.23\).

Step2: Calculate the amount spent on food

We know the total spending is \(T = 2300\) dollars. The amount spent on food \(A\) is given by the formula \(A=\text{Percentage (in decimal)}\times\text{Total spending}\). Substituting the values, we get \(A=0.23\times2300\).
