Question

Dans income is $632 a month. Dans friend Dave wants Dan to be his new roommate. Dans part of the rent will be $287.50. Dan knows it is a good idea to pay rent that is no more than one-fourth of his income. Do you think Dan should move in with Dave? Explain the reason for your decision. (Helpful hint: to find one-fourth of a number, divide the number by 4 )

Answer 1

First let's divide his monthly income by 4

632/4=158

since his rent would be more than 1/4 of his monthly income it would not be a good idea to move in with Dave
