Question

If you have a budget of 12% of your monthly income for groceries how much can you spend on groceries if you are 950 bi-weekly

Answer 1

If you earn $950 bi-weekly, you earn 2 x 950 = $1900 per month. If you have budgeted 12% of your monthly income for groceries you need to find 12% of $1900: (1900 / 100) x 12 = 228. Answer: you can spend $228 a month on groceries.

Answer 2

Aloha!
There is a one step equation for this question and here is how to solve it.
Step 1. Multiply $950 by .12=$114 dollars

Note: I changed 12% into a decimal by multiplying 12% by 100. (Or you can just put a decimal in-front of the percent.)

I hope this helps!:)
