Question

If Joe wants to spend 35% of his income on rent, what percentage of income will he be able to spend on other things?

100%

65%

35%

20%

Answer 1

65%

Explanation:

Given the percentage of amount of money spends on rent is 35%

Total money spend = money spent on rent + money spent on other things

Here total money spent = total money he got as income = 100%

Money spent on other things = total money spent - money spent on rent

Money spent on other things = 100 - 35 = 65%

Therefore the percentage of amount spend on other things are 65%
