Answer:

Betty's monthly take home is $20 less

Step-by-step explanation:

Betty's monthly income = $2300

Betty's monthly savings = $200

Amount left after savings = $2300 - $200

Amount left after savings = $2100

Federal and State Income tax rate = 20% = 0.2

Tax amount paid = $420

Monthly take home = $2100 - $420

Monthly take home = $1680

Compared to $150 per month savings, Betty's monthly take home is $20 less
