\begin{gathered} In\text{ this case we only need to calculate the 33\% of 2400} \\ we\text{ can do this in several ways, but the easier one is t}o\text{ multiply the percentage and the amount and then divide it by 100} \\ (33\cdot2400)/(100)=792 \\ So\text{ that is the amount you should pay at most in rent} \end{gathered}
