Question

40% of Michelle's monthly earnings goes to her rent payment. If Michelle is paid $3,200 every month, How much does she pay in rent?

Answer 1

`Michelle \: pays \: 1280`$

Explanation:

`(x)/(3200) = (40)/(100)`

`(x)100 =( 40)3200`

`(x)100 = 128000`

`((x)100)/(100) = (128000)/(100)`

`x = (128000)/(100)`

`x = 1280`

`Michelle \: pays \: 1280`$

Answer 2

$ 1,280 hope that helps
