Monica knows that she should spend no more than 1/3 of her income on her rent. She really wants to move into a cool condo downtown and has found a great place where the rent is $2,300 per month. Based on that, how much should Monica earn each month to afford the rent on her cool new place?

$6,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = Amount Monica should earn each month

Rent per month = $2,300

Monica knows that she should spend no more than 1/3 of her income on her rent

1/3 of her Income = rent

1/3 of x = 2,300

1/3x = 2,300

x = 2,300 ÷ 1/3

x = 2,300 * 3/1

x = $6,900

Monica should earn $6,900 each month to afford the rent on her cool new place

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
