a. What is the maximum amount the family should spend each month on a mortgage​ payment?
28% of one's gross monthly income
if a family has a gross annual income of $45600, gross monthly income is
$45600%2F12=3800
then 28}% of one's gross monthly income is
3800%2828%2F100%29=3800%2A0.28=1064

b. What is the maximum amount the family should spend each month for total credit​ obligations?
should be max 36% of​ one's gross monthly income which is
3800%2836%2F100%29=3800%2A0.36=1368

c. If the​ family's monthly mortgage payment is 70​% of the maximum they can​ afford, what is the maximum amount they should spend each month for all other​ debt?
monthly mortgage payment =1064is 70​% then the maximum amount they should spend each month for all other​ debt is
1064+%28+70%2F100%29+=+744.80
deduct from total credit​ obligations 1368
1368+-+744.8+=+623.20 maximum amount they could spend each month for all other debts
