    C. 32%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First, you have to determine the amount they spent on entertainment and food:

    Salary $2,700

    Taxes: 10%: $270

    Fixed expenses: $1,161

    Savings: $405

    $2,700-$270-$1,161-$405 = $864

    Alycia spent $864 on entertainment and food. Now, you have to find the percent of her income that this amount represents:

    ($864/$2,700) * 100 = 32%

    According to this, the answer is that the percent of her income that was spent on entertainment and food is 32%.
