What percentage of his monthly budget does Doug put in savings?

O A. 13%

B. 6%

C. 11%

D. 16%

To get the percentage of his monthly budget does Doug put in savings, first we need to get the total savings

Total savings = 403+806+868+496+341+186

Total money = $3100

Amount spent on savings = $341

Percentage savings = amount spent on savings/Total money × 100%

Percentage savings = 341/3100 × 100

Percentage savings = 341/31

Percentage savings = 11%

Hence the percentage of the total money spent on savings is 11%
