Question

The Mitchell's budget allows 4.5% of their annual disposable income for clothing. The annual disposable income is 38,600. How much is available for clothing annually?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{\ 1656}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mitchells can spend $4.50 for clothing for every $100 of disposable income.

$\text{Clothing budget} = \text{\ 36 800 disposable} \times \dfrac{\text{\ 4.50 for clothing}}{\text{\ 100 disposable}} = \textbf{\ 1656 for clothing}\\\text{The Mitchells have \large \boxed{\textbf{\ 1656}} available for clothing}$
