To find the percentages associated with each category of Jonathan's budget, we need to divide each expense by his monthly net income and then multiply by 100.

Transportation: (800 / 4500) * 100 = 17.8%
Utilities: (175 / 4500) * 100 = 3.9%
Food: (550 / 4500) * 100 = 12.2%
Savings: (300 / 4500) * 100 = 6.7%
Student Loan Payment: (300 / 4500) * 100 = 6.7%
Other Expenses: (575 / 4500) * 100 = 12.8%
