Algebra.Com's Answer #450111 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1600 - 25% of 1600 = 1600 - 0.25*1600 = 1200\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So after you take 25% of 1600 away from 1600, you're left with 1200\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you are *really* paid $1,200 a month (instead of $1,600 a month) after you take out all taxes.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your expenses are $1,200, so you will have 1200 - 1200 = 0 dollars left over\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you CANNOT afford the health club or any additional expenses. This is assuming you don't rely on a credit card or other forms of loans.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
