Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Net income of Victor Malaba = $ 1,240 per month

Amount spend on food = $150

Amount spend on a car payment = $244

Amount spend on rent = $300

Amount for savings = $50

Thus,

Total expenses = $ 150 + $ 244 + $ 300 + $ 50 = $ 744

the total amount left after the above expenses = Net income - The total expenses

or

The amount left = $ 1,240 - $ 744 = $ 496

Therefore, the percentage of net income that can he can spend on other things =
`(496)/(1240)*100%`

or

The percentage of net income that can he can spend on other things = 40%
