If the United States spends $1 billion a year on foreign aid and, of that money, 55% contributes to human rights improvements, 25% contributes to HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention, and 5% contributes to infrastructure improvements, how much money of the foreign aid budget is left to spend on food and water?
  1. $150 billion
  2. $150,000
  3. $1.5 million
  4. $150 million
Explanation
Answer: D - If 85% of a $1 billion foreign aid budget is spent on non-food costs, the remaining 15% that is spent on food is $150 million. The majority of the United States' foreign aid budget does in fact contribute to improvements in human rights efforts in individual countries more than it does to food.
