To calculate how much Niket intends to save each month, you can take 20% of his monthly income of $3,500.
20% can be expressed as a decimal, which is 0.20.
Now, calculate the savings:
\[ \text{Savings} = \text{Income} \times \text{Savings Rate} = 3,500 \times 0.20 = 700 \]
So, Niket intends to save $700 each month.
