If this is 15% of their monthly budget, then what is their monthly budget? * Hint: your solution should be rounded to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Let x be the Fernando family's monthly budget. We know that $800 is 15% of their monthly budget, so we can write an equation:

0.15x = $800

To solve for x, we can divide both sides by 0.15:

x = $800 ÷ 0.15

x = $5,333.33 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Therefore, the Fernando family's monthly budget is approximately $5,333.33.
