Round any decimals to the nearest penny.
Your fixed expenses are $834.02/month. You save 5 months' worth in an emergency fund over a year’s time. How much did you save per month?
To calculate how much you saved per month, first find the total amount saved in the emergency fund:
5 months x $834.02/month = $4,170.10
Since the amount saved must be rounded to the nearest penny, the total amount saved is $4,170.10.
Next, find how much was saved per month by dividing the total amount saved by 12 months:
$4,170.10 / 12 months = $347.51
Rounded to the nearest penny, you saved $347.51 per month for your emergency fund.
