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
