1. Your property taxes come due annually and generally cost about $2,300. You decide that you would like to put a monthly amount aside to be prepared for when this bill comes. How much should you put aside each month?

About $192 each month

About $230 each month

About $384 each month

2. How can you make sure that you have enough for a recurring payment (a payment that happens at a predetermined frequency). Select all that apply.

Try setting the payment amount aside for a while before you purchase it to see if you can live without it.

Change your current spending patterns to accommodate the new payment.

Just purchase the item so that you are forced to figure it out that way.

1. You have two numbers -- 12 and 2,300.

subtract?
multiply?
divide?
What is your answer? Is it reasonable?

2. I'll be glad to check your answer.

my answers are

1. B

1. is wrong. You did not follow my instructions.

2. right.

Please do not post this question again.

To calculate how much you should put aside each month for your property taxes, you can divide the total annual cost by 12 (since there are 12 months in a year).

1. So, for the first question, let's calculate it:
Total annual cost of property taxes: $2,300
Monthly amount needed: $2,300 / 12 = $191.67

Round it to the nearest dollar and you get approximately $192 per month.

Therefore, the correct answer to the first question is "About $192 each month."

2. For the second question, "How can you make sure that you have enough for a recurring payment (a payment that happens at a predetermined frequency)?" selecting all the options that apply are:

- Try setting the payment amount aside for a while before you purchase it to see if you can live without it. This helps you gauge if the payment is something you truly need and if you can comfortably afford it.
- Change your current spending patterns to accommodate the new payment. Adjusting your budget and prioritizing the recurring payment will ensure you have enough funds to cover it.

The incorrect option is "Just purchase the item so that you are forced to figure it out that way."

So, the accurate answers to the second question are:
- Try setting the payment amount aside for a while before you purchase it to see if you can live without it.
- Change your current spending patterns to accommodate the new payment.
