Answer:
Julie
The percent of her monthly income that will be budgeted for transportation is:
= 13%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Amount budgeted for transportation = $175
Amount being spent on transportation = $250
Total monthly income = $1,900
Percentage of monthly income that will be budgeted for transportation = $250/$1,900 * 100
= 13.16%
= 13.2%
= 13%
Percentage of monthly income earlier budgeted for transportation = 9% ($175/$1,900 * 100)
The additional spending on transportation represents 4% ($75/$1,900 * 100)
New percentage spending on transportation = 13% (9% + 4%)
