To calculate the percent of total expenditures spent on food, we need to add up all the expenses in the given categories and then calculate the percentage of the total amount that food represents.
Total expenditures: $1091 + $1655 + $1012 + $722 + $1751 + $2215 + $3870 = $12316
Percentage spent on food: ($2215 / $12316) * 100 = 17.99%
Therefore, approximately 18% of the total expenditures in these seven categories was spent on food.
