First, try to see if there is any shortcut / trick. None found.

So, we have to calculate total expenses: 360
And the expense for advertising: 160
Percentage should be 160/360 = 16/36 = 8 / 18 = 4 / 9 = 44.44%

Sajjad1994 the Error Log is displaying I missed the question, although I chose the correct answer. It seems like a formatting problem on the question.

The reason is that each question has two drop downs and here, the drop down for second had invalid entry.
Choose drop down for second portion and you will get actual answer.

This is a fairly easy question so probably 40 to 45 seconds max. Can I know what took you over 2.5 mins? If its because of confusion regarding drop down, just chill. Its not your mistake. The question is not properly formatted.
