Question

Alberto’s monthly income is $3,200. Part of Alberto’s monthly budget is shown in the table.

Answer 1

Using the percentage concept, it is found that 40% of Alberto’s income is used to pay for his rent and groceries.

What is a percentage?

The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:

$P = \frac{a}{b} \times 100\%$

In this problem:

• Alberto’s monthly income is $3,200, hence b = 3200.

• He spends 896 + 384 = $1280 in rent and groceries, hence a = 1280.

Then, the percentage is given by:

$P = \frac{1280}{3200} \times 100\% = 40\%$
