Answer:

It depends on the amount of days in a month:

If 28 days: 3.57%

If 29 days: 3.45%

If 30 days: 3.33%

If 31 days: 3.23%

Explanation:

1. Provided a month is defined as 30 days - change 30 days to correct amount for specified month. For days in a month, see table below.

2. Multiply daily income by days in a month: $3.50 * 30 days = $105.00/month.

2. Divide specified amount of $3.50 by monthly income: $3.50 ÷ $105.00 = 0.03333

3. Multiply faction by 100 to make into a percentage: 0.03333 * 100 = 3.333%

The duration of a month will vary.

January: 31 days; 3.23%

February: 28 days in a common year and 29 days in leap years; 3.57% or, if leap year, 3.45%

March – 31 days; 3.23%

April – 30 days; 3.33%

May – 31 days; 3.23%

June – 30 days; 3.33%

July – 31 days; 3.23%

August – 31 days; 3.23%

September – 30 days; 3.33%

October – 31 days; 3.23%

November – 30 days; 3.33%

December – 31 days; 3.23%.
