Question Jessica’s budget includes the following expenses: monthly rent ($800) , cellphone bill ($125) , utility bill ($350) , groceries ($350) , and transportation ($150) . What percentage of her income was spent on monthly rent? Round to the nearest whole number.(1 point) 4%
To find the percentage of Jessica's income that was spent on monthly rent, we need to divide the monthly rent by the total income and then multiply by 100.
The total expenses are $800 + $125 + $350 + $350 + $150 = $1775
Therefore, the percentage of her income spent on monthly rent is 800/1775 * 100 = 45.07%.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percentage is 45%.
