Question

2. Finance Planners recommend no more than 30% of your income should be your rent.

1. How much should Hagatha spend on rent if she brings home $2,000 per month?

2. If the average rent for a one-bedroom in Portland is $1,743, how much does Hagatha need to earn per month to have her rent total 30% of his income?

Answer 1

If she brings home 2,000 a month, she she spend around 600$ on rent because $2000 • 30% = $600.

She needs to make $5810 a month to have her 1743$ rent be 30% of her income because 30/100 = 1743/x
x= 5810
