Juniper has $
for rent.

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of money that Juniper has each month for rent, we need to take 40% of their net income of $3250.

\[
\text{Amount for rent} = \text{Net income} \times \text{Percentage for rent}
\]
\[
\text{Amount for rent} = 3250 \times 0.40
\]
\[
\text{Amount for rent} = 1300
\]

Therefore, Juniper has **$1300** for rent each month.
