Question 6 • Advanced Financial Algebra

Eden earns $⁢3,500 per month from her salary and $⁢500 from a part-time job. Her monthly debt payments include $⁢250 for a student loan and $⁢150 for a credit card. What is her debt-to-income ratio, written as a percent? Use the debt-to-income ratio formula: (total monthly debt payments)/(gross monthly income)⋅100

Answer
A
14%
B
11 percent
C
8%
D
10%

Explanation

Eden’s gross monthly income is $3,500 + $500 = $4,000, and her monthly debt payments total $250 + $150 = $400. Her debt-to-income ratio is ($400 ÷ $4,000) × 100 = 10 percent, so the correct choice is 10 percent.
