Answer 1

Answer:                                                                                                                

Option C : 40.9% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total monthly income of Robert = $1650

The mortgage payment of Robert = $675

Thus, the percentage of his income Robert spends on his mortgage is;

$\frac{675}{1650}\times100$ = 40.9%

Therefore, Robert spends 40.9% of his monthly income on mortgage payment.

Answer 2

675.00/1650.00 = 0.4090...
(0.4090)(100) = 40.9
 The answer is C. 40.9%.
