Aira has $
for personal items.

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of money Aira has for personal items, we need to find 15% of her monthly net income, which is $3500.

\[
\text{Amount for personal items} = \text{Net income} \times \text{Percentage for personal items}
\]

\[
\text{Amount for personal items} = 3500 \times 0.15
\]

\[
\text{Amount for personal items} = 3500 \times 0.15 = 525
\]

Aira has **$525** for personal items each month.
