Consumer Math: Rule on Rent.

Rent < 28% of Gross Monthly Pay

Weekly pay: 356
Monthly pay : 356 x 4 = 1,424
Maximum monthly rent: 1,424 x 28% = 398.72

First option is the answer. $398.72

Answer with explanation:

Weekly Salary of mine= $ 356

Monthly Salary of Mine, if there are four weeks in a month. =$356×4=$1424

We, will use @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@ rule here,which states that ,28% of your monthly income should be used for housing Purposes and 36% of monthly income should be used for Debt Purposes.

So,28% of $1424

  \(=\frac{28}{100}\times1424\\\\=\frac{28\times 1424}{100}\\\\=\frac{39872}{100}\\\\=398.72\)

Option A: $ 398.72
