Question

Nicole makes $26,400 per year. Her monthly rent is 25% of her monthly income. (find the monthly income to find the monthly rent) What is her monthly rent? I assume $26,375?

Answer 1

1. First find her monthly income by dividing how much she earns in a year by 12: $26,400 divided by 12 = $2,200

2. Now we can find 25% of this to work out her monthly rent: 0.25 x $2,200 = $550. (25% is 0.25 as a decimal)

Answer = $550

Hope this helps!
