if you have budgeted 12% of your monthly income for groceries how much can you spend on groceries if you earn $950 bi-weekly

Think: 1 month = 30 days, and "bi-weekly" = every 15 days.

In 1 month you'll learn 2($950), or $1900.

12% of that is 0.12($950) = $114 to spend on groceries (answer)

Well if you make 950 dollars every two weeks, in a month you will have 1,900. Then take 12% of 1,900, and you will have 228 dollars to spend a month on groceries.
