Rent: $389 Food: $311 Fun: $233 Other: $467 What percent of her total spending did she spend on Fun?

First, let’s calculate her total spending:

\[
389 + 311 + 233 + 467 = 1400
\]

Now, we find what percentage of this total was spent on "Fun" ($233):

\[
\text{Percentage spent on Fun} = \left( \frac{233}{1400} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating this:

\[
\frac{233}{1400} \approx 0.1664
\]

\[
0.1664 \times 100 \approx 16.64\%
\]

So, she spent approximately **16.64%** of her total spending on Fun.
