Victor malaba has a net income of $1,240 per month. if he spends $150 on food, $244 on a car payment, $300 on rent, and $50 on savings, what percent of his net income can he spend on other things?
a. 64 percent
b. 300 percent
c. 43 percent
d. 40 percent

D. 40 percent

Adding everything up that he spent money on, we get $744 dollars. That's out of a total of his $1240 dollars.

So we can find out how much money he has left by subtracting the total from the amount he spent.

1240 - 744 = 496

$496 dollars is the amount of money he has left. To find out the percentage he has left, put the remaining amount over the total times 100.

So, 496/1240 = .4
.4 × 100 = 40 percent. Hope that helps!

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

the answer is 18.
