Sarah has summarized her monthly expenses using the pie chart below. What percent of Sarah's monthly income is left over after she pays her monthly bills? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

31.7%

Explanation:

Amount earned= 3120

Amount spent= 2130

Amount saved=990

% age of amount leftover = 990/3120 * 100

Answer 2

31.7%

Explanation:

Here we are given that

Sarah Earns E = $3120

Sarah Spend S = $2130

Therefore Sarah Saves

Earning - expenses

E-S

=$3120-$2130

= $990

Now we have to find the percentage of this amount on his earning . In order to find the percentage we use following formula.

`Percentage = (Saving)/(Earning) * 100`

`Percentage = (990)/(3120) * 100`

`Percentage = 0.3173* 100`

`Percentage =31.7%`

Hence Sarah makes 31.7% saving out of her total earnings of the month.
