Step 1:
Add rent & car payments

=11,250+1422
=$12,672

Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100

12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x

OR

Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places

His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.

Hope this helps! :)

Dovator [93]

we know that

In an Arithmetic Sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant

an=a1+d*(n-1)

where

a1 is the first term

d is the common difference between terms

n is the number of months (in this problem)

case a) Mandy

a1=16 books

d=2

an=16+2*(n-1) ------> equation 1

in this equation the first month is April

case b) Bill

a1=4 books

d=4

an=4+4*(n-1) -------> equation 2

In this equation the first month is May

With the equation 1 and the equation 2

calculate the attached table

therefore

the answer is

December
