Question

Joshua's monthly salary is $2,909. If joshua's budget for rent is 22% of salary, then how much is budgeted for rent?

Answer 1

$639.98 is budgeted for the rent.

Explanation:

Joshua's monthly salary is $2,909 and the budget for the rent is 22% of her salary.

For finding the amount of rent, we just need to find 22% of $2909. For that, first we need to convert 22% into decimal by dividing it by 100 and then multiply this result with $2909.

So,
`22\%= (22)/(100)=0.22`

Now,
`(\$2909*0.22)= \$639.98`

Thus, $639.98 is budgeted for the rent.
