41,600 + 62,000 = 103,600

Figure out what percentage of 103,600 is 62,000

Answer 8

Well, first of all the person that makes the most money.....their percentage should be calculated first

Husband makes most money and his percentage of income is 59.85% of their total income..

So, 59.85% of 1000 = 598.46

1000 - 598.46 = 401.54

So Husband pays $598.46
Wife pays $401.54

Answer 9

Do you get it?

Answer 10

Or you can just round it to the nearest ten percent and say that the husband makes 60% of the income so he pays $600 and the wife pays $400

Answer 11

Ok, that makes total sense! Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help.

Answer 12

You're welcome

Answer 13

thanks

Answer 14

perfect. Thank you sooo much!

Answer 15

I admit, it wasn't clear at first how to figure it out. You had to somehow relate both incomes in a way that would make equivalent ratios for the 1000 dollars. If there is another way to approach this let me know.
