Answer:

  • housing, $1056
  • food, $552
  • transportation, $408
  • savings, $240
  • clothing, $144

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the budget total by the percentage for each category:

  • housing: 44% × $2400 = $1056
  • food: 23% × $2400 = $552
  • clothing: 6% × $2400 = $144
  • transportation: 17% × $2400 = $408
  • savings: 10% × $2400 = $240

__

Find "the rest" by subtracting the total of percentages from 100%, or by subtracting the total of budget categories from $2400. Here, everything (not including savings) adds to 90% × $2400 = $2160, so the amount to savings is 10%, or $240.
