I feel like I might be overthinking this. Should we just calculate 35% of the total expenses directly? I hope I remember the right formula!

If financing activities are 35% of operating expenses, then I guess we need to find that total first. But what if the shop purchase counts as an operating expense?

I think we need to add up all the expenses except for dividends to find the operating expenses. I practiced a similar question last week!

I remember that financing activities are usually a percentage of operating expenses, but I'm not sure how to calculate the total expenses first.
