Natalie makes $2,000 per month. she spends $100 on credit card payments and $250 on an auto loan. what is her debt-to-income ratio? 17.5 percent 22 percent 2.7 percent 32.5 percent

First option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Income of Natalie makes per month = $2000

Amount She spends on credit card payments = $100

Amount she spend on an auto loan = $250

Total debt is given by

So, Debt-to-Income ratio is given by

Hence, First option is correct.

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
