To find out what percent of Juniper's current net income she needs to set aside for her new utility bills, we need to find the increase in her utility bills and then calculate the percentage based on her current net income.
-
First, let's determine the increase in her utility bills: \[ \text{Increase} = \text{New Bill} - \text{Old Bill} = 600 - 585 = 15 \]
-
Next, we need Juniper's current net income to calculate the percentage. However, since you haven't provided her current net income, let's denote her current net income as \( x \).
-
Now, we calculate the percentage of her current net income that she needs to set aside for the increase in utility bills: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Current Net Income}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{15}{x} \right) \times 100 \]
-
Without the value of \( x \), we cannot determine the exact percentage. If you provide Juniper's current net income, we can complete the calculation.
