To determine the percentage of total expenditures spent on food, we first need to calculate the total expenditures across all categories and then find the percentage specifically for food.
Given expenditures:
- Miscellaneous: $1099
- Child care/Education: $1658
- Health Care: $1013
- Clothing: $725
- Transportation: $1759
- Food: $2215
- Housing: $3870
First, sum up all these expenditures:
\[
1099 + 1658 + 1013 + 725 + 1759 + 2215 + 3870 = 12339
\]
So, the total expenditures across all categories is $12339.
Next, calculate the percentage spent on food:
\[
\text{Percentage for Food} = \left( \frac{\text{Expenditure on Food}}{\text{Total Expenditures}} \right) \times 100
\]
\[
\text{Percentage for Food} = \left( \frac{2215}{12339} \right) \times 100
\]
\[
\text{Percentage for Food} = 0.1795 \times 100
\]
\[
\text{Percentage for Food} \approx 17.95\%
\]
Rounding to the nearest tenth as required:
\[
\text{Percentage for Food} \approx 17.9\%
\]
Therefore, approximately 17.9% of the total expenditures in these seven categories was spent on food.
