Stuck between option B and C and picked C
A: Rent, medical, and educational expenses together comprise of more than 50% of the total expenses for both 2009 and 2010. - True
B: Automobile expenses did not change from 2009 to 2010. - False, there is a change in total, so defiantly and increase in expense in 2010.
C: John's family spent 2% more on gasoline in 2010 than it did in 2009. - Marked this incorrectly as ans, without any solid reasoning
D: The amount increase in total income is less than the amount increase of money spent on rent between the two years. True. Increase in total = 1000, Increase in rent between 2009 and 2010 - 1320
E: All of the statements are true. - False, I believe this is also false because we do have option B as false.
Ans should be option B and E

While John's family's automobile expenses were 7% of its total income in both 2009 and 2010, since the total income in 2010 was greater than the total income in 2009, the automobile expenses in 2010 were thus greater than the automobile expenses in 2009.
