Question

Help

Find the maximum amount that should be spent for monthly rent if a person makes $10.50 per hour.

Answer 1

Is there more to the question? Because the answer could depend on multiple things. How many hours a day, days a week, ect. ect.

Answer 2

nope thats it :(

Answer 3

First, you need to figure out how much you make in one month.
Roughly (assuming you work 40 hours per week), it would be
10.50*40 per week, and (about) 4 weeks per month:
10.50*40*4

that is how much you "gross"

I think there is a "rule of thumb" to not spend more than 30% (check this, you may have been taught a different number)

But, if it's 30%, the amount to spend on rent would be
0.30*10.50*40*4

Answer 4

$504.00

Answer 5

@phi ?

Answer 6

yes, but you should check your lesson because I'm guessing on the 30%
but if you don't know, then 504 is a good guess.

Answer 7

okay
