Question

Deja spends 25% of her monthly salary on her rent. Her rent is $650 a month. What is dejas monthly salary

Answer 1

Monthly Salary = $2,600

Explanation:

Monthly rent on monthly salary = 25%

Monthly rent = $650.

To determine the monthly sale, we have to use the unitary method.

25% monthly rent on monthly salary means out of $100, Deja spends $25 on her rent.

Therefore,

Deja spends $25 on her rent, when the monthly salary = $100

Deja spends $1 on her rent, when the monthly salary =
`(100)/(25)`

Deja spends $650 on her rent, when the monthly salary =
`(100*650)/(25)`

=
`(65000)/(25)`

= $2,600

Her monthly salary is $2,600.
