Of the total amount that Rose spent on a shopping trip, excluding taxes, she spent 50 percent on clothing, 20 percent on food, and 30 percent on other items. If Rose paid a 4 percent tax on the clothing, no tax on the food, and an 8 percent tax on all other items, then the total tax that she paid was what percent of the total amount that she spent, excluding taxes?	Choose the correct choice.
A) 2.8 %  B) 4.4 %  C) 4.6 %  D) 5.2 %  E) 6.0 %
