Question

Ben’s annual salary is £22000. He spends 15% of this on rent. How much is his rent per month

Answer 1

£275

Explanation:

To find how much Ben's rent is per month, we first have to find how much Ben spends on rent annually (every year). We can do this by multiplying his annual salary by the percentage spent on rent.

22000 · 0.15 = 3300

Now that we know Ben spends 3300 on rent a year, we can divide that amount by 12 (the number of months in a year) to find out how much his rent is per month.

3300 / 12 = 275

Answer 2

22000 x 0.15 = 3300

3300/12 = £275 per month
