Question

Victor Malaba has a net income of $1,240 per month. If he spends $150 on food, $244 on a car

payment, $300 on rent, and $50 on savings, what percent of his net income can he spend on other things
I'm getting lost when solving for x
Any help is greatly appreciated

Answer 1

$1,240-$150-$244-$300-$50=$496 left
496/1240=x/100
x=49600/1240=40%
All you have to do is use proportions.
