Hi!


We need to set up two fractions and cross multiply to find the answer.


[tex] \frac{425}{1700} \frac{x}{100} [/tex]


Cross multiply.

425 x 100 = 42500

42500/1700 = 25


The answer is 25%


Hope this helps! :)

Joel earns 1700 per month, in which he spends 425 on rent each month.


Divide the part from the whole.


425/1700 = 0.25


0.25 = 25/100 = 25%


25% of Joel's total income is spent on rent.


hope this helps
