Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackie's annual net income is $38,640. This is the income after all other annual expenses has been deducted. This means that his annual expenses of $260 has been deducted already. There are 12 months in a year. This means that her monthly income would be 38640/12 = $3220

Each month, Jackie budgets $1640 for fixed expenses, $1320 for living expenses. Her total expenses for each month will be 1320 + 1640 = 2960. The statement best describes her monthly budget will be her monthly income - her monthly expenses. It becomes 3220 - 2960 = $260

Therefore, It shows a surplus of $260.
