Respuesta :

[tex]40000\cdot0.20=8000[/tex]

$40 more per week in one year (52 weeks per year) is

[tex]40\cdot52=2080[/tex]

The sum of the previuos budget and this new amount is

[tex]8000+2080=10080[/tex]

To know the ratio against the annual income, we do this:

[tex]\frac{10080}{40000}\cdot100=0.252\cdot100=25.2[/tex]

The answer is 25.2%
