Monserrat earns $3,265 per month. She has monthly expenses of $1,178 excluding rent. She does not want her rent to exceed 35% of her monthly income. What is the max amount she is willing to spend on rent each month?

The maximum rent is 35% of Monserrat’s monthly income: $3,265 × 0.35 = $1,142.75. Her other monthly expenses do not change the stated rent limit, so the answer is $1,142.75.
