Heather is saving for retirement and has been doing a lot of research on how much she should put aside each month. the newest article says that 1 36 of her salary should be put into a retirement account. if she makes $63,000 a year, how much will she put into her retirement account each month (rounded to the nearest dollar)?

If Heather puts in 1.36% of her salary into a retirement account and she makes $63,000 in a year, this can be solved by 1.36% x 63000. First convert 1.36% into a decimal. To do this, divide by 100.

1.36/100=0.0136

1.36% x 63000
=0.0136 x 63000
=856.8
Heather would put $856.8 in for the whole year. To find how much per month, divide by 12.

856.8/12=71.4
Rounded to the nearest dollar is $71.

Heather would put $71 into a retirement account each month.

Note: This was solved by multiply the percent and then dividing by 12 months. You could also do this by dividing by 12 months first and then multiplying the percent.

Ithink the answer is $2.10
