Answer:

54.9%

Explanation:

To calculate your debt to income ratio, you must add all your monthly debt payments and divide that number by your monthly gross income:

Timothy's total monthly debt payments = auto loan ($750) + student loan ($390) + mortgage ($1,700) + credit card ($125) = $2,965

Timothy's debt to income ratio = $2,965 / $5,400 = 54.9%

Timothy has too many debts, a good debt to income ratio shouldn't exceed 36-40%.
