Question

Kelly makes an income of $30,000 a year after taxes. Her rent is 30% of her annual salary. How much money does Kelly have to pay for rent every month?

Answer 1

`\boxed{750\text{ dollars}}`

Kelly pays 750 dollars for rent each month.

Explanation

1) 30,000 * 0.3 = 9000

9,000 is the rent from her annual salary.

2) Since the question is asking for the amount money Kelly pays for every month we would need to simply do
`9000 / 12`

Thus, Kelly pays 750 dollars for rent each month.
