[tex]\dfrac{810}{x} = 0.30[/tex]

[tex]x = \dfrac{810}{0.30} = 2700[/tex]

Answer: $2700

ANSWER:

The monthly income of lauren is $2700

SOLUTION:

Given that, Lauren spends 30% of her monthly income on rent

Let the monthly income of lauren be x.

Then, 30% of x = rent payment -- eqn  (1)

And also given that, lauren pays $810 for rent

rent payment = $810

Now, substitute rent payment in eqn (1)

30% of x =810

30% [tex]\times[/tex] x = 810

30/100 [tex]\times[/tex] x = 810

30 [tex]\times[/tex] x = 810 [tex]\times[/tex] 100

x = [tex]\frac{81000}{30}[/tex]

x = 2700

Hence, the monthly salary of lauren is $2700.
