From the question it is given that,

Total money spent on 7 categories = Rs. 50,000

Then,

(1) Money spent on Housing = (30/100) × 50,000

= Rs. 15,000

(2) Money spent on Food (including eating out) = (20/100) × 50,000

= Rs. 10,000

(3) Money spent on Car Loan and Maintenance = (25/100) × 50,000

= Rs. 12,500

(4) Money spent on Utilities = (20/100) × 50,000

= Rs. 10,000

(5) Money spent on Phone = (5/100) × 50,000
