To find out what percent of Tara's monthly income is spent on her car payment, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Car Payment}}{\text{Monthly Income}} \right) \times 100
\]

Substituting in the values:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{219}{3200} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating the fraction:

\[
\frac{219}{3200} \approx 0.0684375
\]

Multiplying by 100 to get the percentage:

\[
0.0684375 \times 100 \approx 6.84375\%
\]

Rounding to one decimal place, this is approximately 6.8%.

So the correct answer is:

**A) 6.8%**
