Question 37389: I am unable to paste the circle graph, but will supply the data.
Total monthly family budget = $2900
Rent = $1200; transportation = $550; food = $400; misc. = $300;
utilities = $250; and charitable contributions = $200.
The above circle graph displays Chris and Mary Smith's monthly $2900 family budget. Use the circle graph to answer the question: What is the ratio of money spent on rent to the total amount of the monthly budget?

The ratio of money spent on rent to the total amount of the monthly budget is just the fraction $1200/$2900, which reduces to 12/29.
