Explanation

Total budget = 4000 + 1200 + 2000 + 1500 + 1800 = 10500. Budget NOT allocated to savings = 10500 - 1500 = 9000. Percentage = (9000 / 10500) * 100 = 85.71%, which is approximately 86%.

AI explanation

First, find the total budget by adding all expenses and savings: 4000 + 1200 + 2000 + 1500 + 1800 = 10500. The amount not allocated to savings is the total budget minus the savings, which is 10500 minus 1500 = 9000. The required percentage is (9000 / 10500) multiplied by 100, resulting in approximately 86 percent.
