Answer 1

Given:

Monthly income = $1,385.57

rent = 26%

food = 22%

Asked: How much money does she spend each month on rent and food?

Solution:

To get the answer to this question, we will first get the 22% and 26% of $1,385.57.

$\begin{gathered} rent=1,385.57\cdot0.26=360.2482 \\ f\infty d=1,385.57\cdot0.22=304.8254 \end{gathered}$

Now, we will add the values we got to find the answer.

$\begin{gathered} \text{rent and food = 360.2482 + 304.8254} \\ \text{rent and food = 665.0734} \end{gathered}$

ANSWER: B. $665.07
