Question

You tell yourself you want to have $100 cash on hand for spending for the next two weeks. This will be for your 7-11 stops, Wendy’s weekend late night stops, maybe that CD you want, the cost of a movie or two, among other things. What percentage of your paycheck are you using as spending money for the next two weeks?

Answer 1

   $100               x%
________ = _______
 $739.79         100%

Cross multiply
739.79x=10000
divide both sides by 739.79
x=13.517%
Simplify
x=14%

Answer=14%
