Question

Kim Lee is trying to decide whether she can afford a loan she needs in order to go to chiropractic school. Right now Kim is living at home and works in a shoe store, earning a gross income of $2490 per month. Her employer deducts a total of $150 for taxes from her monthly pay. Kim also pays $85 on credit card debt each month. The loan she needs for chiropractic school will cost an additional $170 per month. Calculate her debt payments-to-income ratio with college loan. Don't forget to convert your answer to a percentage. Make sure to include zeros and the period in your answer. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. i.e. 20.12, 31.89, 10.02, 8.09, etc. Do not include the "%" sign in your answer.

Explanation / Answer

INCOME after taxes=2490-150=2340

Debt payments + school fee=85+170=255

Debt payments to income ratio with college fee=255/2340=10.90 , SO 10.02 can be answer the nearest one
