John wants to budget 20% of his income for savings. If he makes about $1, 600 each month, how much of his budget will be savings?
A
$160
B
$320
C
$400
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Find your gross salary in your most recent pay stub and multiply it by 0.2. If you earn $3, 000 per pay period, for example, a 20 percent savings from every paycheck totals $600.

Detailed explanation-2: -If You Are Paid Bi-Weekly: Multiply your take-home pay for one paycheck by the number of paychecks in a year: 26. Then divide this number by 12 to get your monthly income. If You Are Paid Weekly: Take your weekly pay and multiply it by the number of weeks in a year: 52.

Detailed explanation-3: -Savings Rate (SR) is defined as the ratio of savings divided by your income. Your savings over any period is your income-expenses. Thus your SR = (Income after tax-spending) / (Income after tax). To convert this SR to a percentage, multiply by 100.

Detailed explanation-4: -Figure 20% of your monthly income and multiply by 12. That’s how much you can reasonably save over the 12 months in a year. Look at that! You just made your first savings plan!
