Answer:
Option c is correct.
27 percent of her net income is her rent payment
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the statement: From net earnings of $740 per month, Ginger Elliott must spend $200 for her portion of the rent on an apartment she shares with two friends.
⇒ Ginger Elliott net earning per month = $740
and she spend on rent payment = $200
Equivalent ratio states that two ratios that express the same relationship between numbers.
Let percent of her net income is her rent payment is, x.
then;
By definition of equivalent ratios;
\(\frac{200}{740} = \frac{x}{100}\)
By cross multiply we get;
\(200 \times 100 = 740x\)
Divide both sides by 740 we get;
\(x = \frac{200 \times 100}{700}\)
Simplify:
x = 27 %
Therefore, 27 percent of her net income is her rent payment.
