Answer:

Since you have the percentage of each category, you need not find the actual value of each of them. You can just use the percentages t find your answer

Housing percentage : Food percentage

[tex]\frac{21}{100}[/tex] : [tex]\frac{36}{100}[/tex]

21:36

Divide each values by their HCF

21:36

7:12

Thus, the ratio of the housing percentage to the food percentage is 7:12.
