she spent 525 on Food

she spent 750 on rent

she spent 775 on others

she spent 450 on fun

Explanation

to find the value of the percentage of any number just use this formula

[tex]\text{ percentage=}\frac{\text{ x\%}\cdot\text{ Number}}{100}[/tex]

so

to find the values, apply the formula

Step 1

a) food :21 %

so

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos t\text{ of food=}\frac{\text{ 21}\cdot2500}{100} \\ \cos t\text{ of food=}525 \end{gathered}[/tex]

it means she spent 525 on Food

Step 2

b) Rent:30 %

so

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos t\text{ of rent=}\frac{\text{ 30}\cdot2500}{100} \\ \cos t\text{ of rent=}750 \end{gathered}[/tex]

it means she spent 750 on rent

Step 3

c)other:31 %

so

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos t\text{ of other=}\frac{\text{ 31}\cdot2500}{100} \\ \cos t\text{ of other=}775 \end{gathered}[/tex]

it means she spent 775 on others

Step 4

d)Fun:18 %

so

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cos t\text{ of fun=}\frac{\text{ 18}\cdot2500}{100} \\ \cos t\text{ of fun=}450 \end{gathered}[/tex]

it means she spent 450 on fun
