A family has an annual income of 36,000. Of this 1/4 is spent on food, 1/5 for housing, 1/10 for clothing , 1/9 for savings, 1/4 for taxes, and the rest for other expenses. How much is spent for housing?

Respuesta :

7,200 is spent on housing

since 1/5 of the total is spent on housing you divide the total(36,000) by 5 to get 7,200
