Question

Jess receives a $15000 salary for working as an engineer. If Jess has to spend $6000 of her salary on expenses each year, then what percent of Jess's money does she have to spend? Round your answer to the nearest whole number if necessary.

Answer 1

Jess will have to spend 40% of her salary

Explanation:

Jess salary = $15,000

Jess expenses = $6,000

what percent of Jess's money does she have to spend

Percentage of Jess expenses = Jess expenses / Total salary × 100

= 6,000 / 15,000 × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40%

Jess will have to spend 40% of her salary
