Step 1: Find the percentage spent on groceries and utilities.
Groceries: 10%
Utilities: 12%
Total percentage spent on groceries and utilities: 10% + 12% = 22%
Step 2: Calculate the combined amount spent on groceries and utilities.
Mr. Wills' monthly income is $4000.
Amount spent on groceries and utilities = 22% of $4000
Amount spent = (22/100) * $4000
