Keisha and Juan are having a baby and want to know the monthly expenses.  Keisha makes $10 an hour and Juan makes $16 an hour. They both work 40 hours a week. Keisha has calculated the costs of monthly expenses for the baby.

Diapers $80 (monthly)
Formula $200 (monthly)
Clothes $75 (monthly)
Daycare $400 (monthly)

How much per month does each person make? What is the total monthly expense for the baby? What percentage of their salary will go toward the baby? What do you think it will be like raising a baby on their salary?​

Keisha makes 1600 a month
Juan makes 2560 a month

2560+1600=3200

80+200+75+400=755

3200-755=2455

it will be easier with 2 salaries and they will do well financially
