Maria is having a baby and wants to know the monthly expenses.  Maria makes $12 an hour and 30 hours a week. Maria has calculated the costs of monthly expenses for the baby.

Diapers $80 (monthly)
Formula $150 (monthly)
Clothes $60 (monthly)
Daycare $480 (monthly)

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

she makes 1440 a month,
all together the baby will cost 770 a month
it may be challenging because she will only have 670 left after expenses
