Question 420329
"harry spends 1/3 of his monthly income on rent. he earns 1,560 per month. how much does he pay for rent?"


He makes $1,560 per month
He spends 1/3 of that on rent


$1,560 x 1/3 {multiply the income by 1/3}
= 1560 ÷ 3 {multiplying by 1/3 is the same as dividing by 3}
= $520 spent on rent per month
