[tex]2\cdot\text{ \$}3,116=\text{ \$}6,232[/tex]

per month.

$6,232 represents 100%. To find what percentage is equivalent to $1,351, we can use the next proportion:

[tex]\frac{6232\text{ \$}}{1351\text{ \$}}=\frac{100\text{ \%}}{x\text{ \%}}[/tex]

Solving for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6232\cdot x=100\cdot1351 \\ x=\frac{135100}{6232} \\ x\approx22\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]
