    Explanation:

    Quarterly tax revenue collected = $70 billion

    Thus,

    annual tax revenue collected = $70 billion * 4

    = $280 billion

    Total amount allocated = $15 billion + $29 billion

    = $44 billion

    Therefore,

    Percentage of annual tax revenue allocated

    = [ $44 billion : $280 billion ] * 100%

    = 15.71%

    Hence,

    Percentage of its total annual tax revenue is left for allocation to the remaining categories of government spending

    = 100% - 15.71%

    = 84.29%
