Answer:

How much per month does each person make?

A. Total hours worked: 40

Amount he gets per hour: 16

Total he earns in a week: 40*16= $640

In a moth = 640*4 = $2560

What is the total monthly expense for the baby?

A. Total expense = Add all the thing required for the baby.

$80 + $200 + $75 + $400 = $755

What percentage of their salary will go toward the baby?

A.

Percentage= 755/2560*100 = Approx 29.49%

What do you think it will be like raising a baby on their salary?​

A: It will be very hard to raise a child with a small salary like this because there are more expenses left other than looking after the baby.
