Question

Juliet decides that she is going to save $1,200 every month from her take home pay of $5,430. What proportion of her monthly take home pay is she saving? A) 12 423 B) 12 543 C) 120 423 D) 120 543

Answer 1

Answer: D)
`(120)/(543)`

Explanation:

Given : Juliet's monthly take home pay= $5,43

The amount Juliet decided to save each month = $1,200

i.e. Per month saving amount = $1,200

Now , the proportion of her monthly take home pay is she saving would become

`\frac{\text{Per month saving}}{\text{monthly take home pay}}`

Substitute the values , we get

The proportion of her monthly take home pay is she saving =
`(1200)/(5430)`

i.e. The proportion of her monthly take home pay is she saving =
`(120)/(543)`

Hence, the correct answer is D)
`(120)/(543)`
