Answer 1

Trudy's  Debt-to-income ratio is 44%.

Debt-to-income ratio is an example of a debt ratio. It measures the ability of income to cover debt.

Debt-to-income ratio = debt / income

Total Debt = monthly debt x 12

Monthly debt = rent + car payment + student loan + credit cards

$695 + $265 + $200 + $160 = $1320

Total Debt = $1320 x 12 = $15,840

Debt-to-income ratio = $1320 / $36,000 = 0.44 = 44%
