To figure this out, let’s break down Abigail's earnings and spending: - Taxes: \( 20\% \) of \( \$3000 \) is \( \$600 \). - Living and housing: \( 40\% \) of \( \$3000 \) is \( \$1200 \). - Savings: \( 15\% \) of \( \$3000 \) is \( \$450 \). - Transportation: \( 10\% \) of \( \$3000 \) is \( \$300 \). - Clothing: \( 10\% \) of \( \$3000 \) is \( \$300 \). Now we calculate the total spent so far: \( \$600 + \$1200 + \$450 + \$300 + \$300 = \$2850 \). The remainder for fun: \( \$3000 - \$2850 = \$150 \). So, the true statements would be: A) False, since \( 20\% \) of \( \$3000 \) is \( \$600 \), not \( \$800 \). B) True, she will spend \( \$150 \) on fun. C) False, she will spend \( \$450 \) on saving, not \( \$150 \). Thus, the correct answer is B. Abigail will spend \( \$150 \) of her salary on fun.
