So to get the $ spent on misc items, just add up the other expenses and subtract it from 3600:

[tex] 2500+650+430=3580\\ \\ 3600-3580=\$ 20 [/tex]

Now to put them into fractions.

Tuition: [tex] \frac{2500}{3600}=\frac{25}{36} [/tex]

Rent: [tex] \frac{650}{3600}=\frac{65}{360} [/tex]

Food: [tex] \frac{430}{3600}=\frac{43}{360} [/tex]

Misc: [tex] \frac{20}{3600}=\frac{1}{180} [/tex]
