Answer:
C. 14,871.21
Step-by-step explanation: You take the number 29,742.42 and multiply it by .2 to get how much they spend on food (5,948.48), and you multiply the same number by .3 to get how much they spend on housing (8,922.73). Then, you add them up to get the total. .2 is acctually 20% of what they spend out of the 29,742.42 and the same for the .3. Hope this wasn't too complicated by the way I explained it.
