Sagot :

1. The percentages chosen are given as follows:

  • Housing: 35%.
  • Food/Household: 20%.
  • Savings: 20%.
  • Transportation: 20%.
  • Debt: 5%.

2. The maximum amount that can be spent in each category is given as follows:

  • Housing: $525.86.
  • Food/Household: $300.49.
  • Savings: $150.25.
  • Transportation: $300.49.
  • Debt: $225.37.

How to divide the percentages?


The percentages for each of the four applications can be divided in any form, as long as the sum of the five percentages is of 100%.

This is the case for the attributed percentages, as:

35 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 5 = 100.

How to find the maximum amounts?

The maximum amounts are found applying the proportions, multiplying the decimal equivalents of the maximum percentages by the bi-weekly net pay of $1,502.45.

Then the amounts in this problem are calculated as follows:

  • Housing: 0.35 x 1502.45 = $525.86.
  • Food/Household: 0.20 x 1502.45 = $300.49.
  • Savings: 0.10 x 1502.45 = $150.25.
  • Transportation: 0.20 x $1502.45 = $300.49.
  • Debt: 0.15 x 1502.45 = $225.37.
