Answer 1

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%)
