Q8. The answer is  83.47% (over 75% of the circle).

Total Expenses = Housing + Insurance + Food + Utilities + Miscellaneous + Transportation + Clothing + Medical + Savings 

Total Expenses = $500.00 + $283.00 + $225.00 + $174.00 + $75.00 + $64.00 + $50.00 + $25.00 + $20.00 = $1416

Total of housing, utilities, food, and insurance is: $500.00 + $174.00 + $225.00 + $283.00 = $1182

Calculate the percent of $
1182 in $1416:
$
1182 : $1416 * 100 = 83.47%
