Question

Joel earns $1,700 per month. If he spends $425 on rent each month, what percent of his income does he spend on rent? A. 20% B. 331/3% C. 40% D. 25%

Answer 1

To get this answer, we do the part divided by the whole and multiply by 100 to get a percentage.

425 / 1700 = 0.25
0.25 x 100 = 25.

25% is your answer, letter D.
