Answer:

The National Housing Act of 1937 established guidelines for maximum rents for low-income families.  Originally the maximum rent threshold was set at 20%, however this increased to 30% in 1981 (and has remained at this level ever since).  This figure is used to determine how much of your gross monthly income you should spend on rent.

The 28% Rule is used for determining how much of your gross monthly income should be used for a mortgage, however the FHA's threshold is a little higher at 31% of your gross monthly income on a mortgage.

Renting:

30% of $1,250 = 0.3 × 1250 = $375

Mortgage 28% Rule:

28% of $1,250 = 0.28 × 1250 = $350

Mortgage 31% FHA:

31% of $1,250 = 0.31 × 1250 = $387.50

Therefore, discounting the higher FHA's threshold, the maximum amount to budget for housing is:

  • $375 (if renting)
  • $350 (if buying)

Which number is represented by point E on the graph?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

It'll be -0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice how it is to the left of zero, anything to the left of zero is negative. With that in mind, we can eliminate A. The half mark between 0 and -1 represents 0.50, and since it goes by quarters, the E is at the first quarter, which is 0.25. Hopefully this helps!

Rita makes and sells necklaces. The materials to make each necklace cost $2.75. Last week she made 8 necklaces and wants to make
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75. She should subtract 2.75 from x.

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error she made was that she was adding x and 2.75.

She should write the equation as 8 (x - 2.75) = 78; as she spends $2.75 to make a necklace.

By using the correct equation: 8 (x - 2.75) = 78

=> 8x - 22 = 78

=> 8x = 78 + 22

=> 8x = 100

=> x = 100/8

=> x = 12.5

Another mistake that she made was that she sold each for $7 assuming that she would make a profit of 78, but she should see each necklace for $12.5 so that she could make a profit of $78.

Hope this helps you.

The sum of a number and 6% of itself is 42.4. find the number
kvasek [131]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

6% of number = 6/100 × x = 6x/100 = 3x/50

Sum of the number and 6% of itself = 42.4

x + (3x/50) = 42.4

(50x+3x)/50 = 42.4

53x = 42.4 × 50

53x = 2120

x = 2120/53

x = 40
