Question

Gabriela's monthly take-home pay is $2800, and her monthly rent is $700. If both her monthly take-home pay and her rent increase by $210, what percentage of Gabriela's take-home pay will be used to pay rent?

Answer 1

Gabriela spends about 30% of her take home pay on rent.

Answer 2

30.23%

Explanation:

Gabriela's monthly take-home pay = $2,800

Her monthly rent = $700

if her monthly take-home pay and her rent increase by $210.

Her monthly take-home pay would be = 2800 + 210 = $3,010

Her monthly rent would be = 700 + 210 = $910

Now we have to calculate the percentage of Gabriela's take-home pay used to pay rent.

`(910)/(3010)` × 100

= 0.3023 × 100

= 30.23%

Gabriela's take-home pay will be used 30.23% to pay rent.
