Answer:

Jane's Social security = $535.71

Josh's Social security = $964.29

Explanation:

Jane's Social security = $500

Josh's Social security = $500 x 180%

Josh's Social security = $900

Suppose In order to have $1,500 per month retirement income

Jane's Social security = X

Josh's Social security = X x 180% = 1.8X

Total Income = X + 1.8X

$1,500 = X + 1.8X

$1,500 = 2.8X

$1,500 / 2.8 = X

X = 535.71

So

Jane's Social security = X = $535.71

Josh's Social security = 1.8 x 535.71 = $964.29

Answer: $100

Explanation:

Jane + Husband total income: 500 + 1.8x500 = 1400

Money needed from savings = 100

Ronda 350 husband 700 = total 1050 + 400 from savings = 1450
