Answer:

  • Lisa: $3302
  • Family: $11372

Explanation:

Given a family net income of $13150, Lisa's current annual gross of $76200, deductions of 20% of Lisa's gross salary, you want to know Lisa's monthly net income and the new family net income if Lisa makes 35% less by working part-time.

Lisa's income

Lisa's current annual income is $76200, and her annual net income is 80% of that, or $60960. On a monthly basis, her net income is ...

$60960/12 = $5080 . . . . . . Lisa's current net monthly income

If her income is reduced by 35%, the reduction is ...

0.35 × $5080 = $1778

Then Lisa's part-time monthly net income will be ...

$5080 -1778 = $3302 . . . . . Lisa's part-time monthly net income

Family income

The family net income will be reduced by the same amount:

$13150 -1778 = $11372 . . . . . new family monthly net income

__

Additional comment

It appears the total of budgeted items is $10343, so those items can be paid even if Lisa works part-time. The family's current surplus income of $2807 would be reduced to $1029, about a 63% reduction. That gives a lot less cushion to pay for off-budget expenses that may come up.
