Question

Nicole heard that as a general rule, she should spend no more than one week's pay on rent. If Nicole's pay is $32,000 per year, what is the maximum amount per month that she should spend on rent? A. $654
B. $750
C. $615
D. $678

Answer 1

A general rule, or a "rule of thumb," helps to estimate values and save a lot of computation (if you get roughly the same answer).

 

There are 52 weeks in a year (not exactly, but we're estimating).

  $32000/52 = $615 per week
