Question

Carl’s monthly income is $4,000. The circle graph below shows Carl’s monthly budget.

Part A: How much money did Carl budget for car payment each month?

Part B: How much money did Carl budget for food each month?

Answer 1

Part A: Carl spent $600 for car payment each month.

Part B: Carl spent $200 for food payment each month.

Explanation:

Part A: 15% of $4000 which is 15% x 4000 = $600

Part B: Step 1 50+20+15+10=95

Step 2 95-100 is 5 which is 5%

Step 3 5% of $4000 which is 5% x 4000 = $200

Answer 2

$600 for car payment

$200 for food

Explanation:

all you need to do is change the percent to a decimal 15% = 0.15 5% = 0.05

then multiply that decimal with the amount of money in this case, $4,000 so...

car payment = 0.15 × 4000 = 600

food = 0.05 × 4,000 = 200
