Jeff has a net spendable income of $1,450 per month. What is the maximum amount of money Jeff should plan to spend on his transportation budget?
This depends on what else he has to consider when he is making his budget (ex. Food, clothes, shelter). Realistically, I think it would cost around $225 if he owns a car and drives a lot. If he take public transit, his budget shoukd be around $125
A possible answer could be:
$290. Jeff should spend no more than 20% of his net spendable income on transportation.
To find 20% of 1,450, multiply 0.20 by 1,450.
1,450 × 0.20 = 290
