Answers & Comments
1. Allotted budget for food = 25% of 18,500 pesos = 4,625 pesos
2. The family saves 15% of 18,500 pesos = 2,775 pesos per month.
3. The biggest allocation is housing (45%), while the least allocated budget is entertainment (5%).
4. The total budget for education will be 1,750 + 2,775 = 4,525 pesos.
5. The budget allocated for transportation is 20% of 18,500 pesos = 3,700 pesos. Therefore, the budget allocated for transportation is 3,700 - 1,750 = 1,950 pesos more than the budget allocated for education.
6. It depends on the family's financial goals and priorities. Saving 15% of their income is generally considered a good practice, but it also depends on how they use the saved money. It is a wise decision if they are saving up for an emergency fund or a long-term investment. However, it may not be a wise decision if they are not utilizing their savings properly.
