Question

10. Audry spends $600 per month on rent. She makes $25,000 per year. To the nearest percent, what percent of her income does she spend on rent? F 28% G 21% H 20% J 29%​

Answer 1

J 29%

Explanation:

Monthly rent: $600.

There are 12 months in 1 year, so the total rent she pays in 1 year is

12 × $600 = $7200

We need to find what percent $7200 is of $25,000.

percent = part/whole × 100%

percent = 7200/25000 × 100%

percent = 28.8%

Rounded to the nearest percent, the answer is 29%.
