Step1: Calculate the original price of 4 t - shirts

The regular - price of one t - shirt is $24, so the regular price of 4 t - shirts is $24×4 = $96.

Step2: Apply the 25% discount

The discount amount is 25% of $96. We use the formula for finding a percentage of a number: $Discount = 0.25×96$. So, $Discount=24$. The price before tax is $96 - 24=72$.

Step1: Recall the simple - interest formula

The simple - interest formula is $I = Prt$, where $P$ is the principal amount, $r$ is the annual interest rate (in decimal form), and $t$ is the time in years.

Step2: Identify the values of $P$, $r$, and $t$

Given that $P = 24875$, $r=0.03$ (since 3% = 0.03), and $t = 2$.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

$I=24875×0.03×2$. First, $24875×0.03 = 746.25$, then $746.25×2=1492.50$.

Step1: Calculate the total monthly budget

The total monthly budget is $5000$.

Step2: Calculate the amount spent on rent

The amount spent on rent is $2400$. The percentage spent on rent is $\frac{2400}{5000}\times100\%=48\%\approx50\%$.

Step3: Calculate the amount spent on Nike and food

The amount spent on food is $600$ and on Nike is $100$, so the total amount spent on Nike and food is $600 + 100=700$. The percentage spent on Nike and food is $\frac{700}{5000}\times100\% = 14\%\approx12\%$.

Step4: Calculate the amount spent on other items

The amount spent on other items is $1400$. The percentage spent on other items is $\frac{1400}{5000}\times100\%=28\%\approx32\%$.
