Using proportions, the amount of money that Sam would need each month to pay his bills is of:

b. at least $425.32.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, his annual social security benefit is of 42% of $37,991, hence:

A = 0.42 x 37991 = $15,956.22.

Hence the monthly amount is given by:

M = 15956.22/12 = $1,329.68

He needs $1,755 monthly, hence the amount he needs is of at least:

An = 1755 - 1329.68 = $425.32.

Which means that option b is correct.
