Jo has a total monthly income for $1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent spent on food = 25%

Percent spent on rent = 30%

Percent spent on insurance = 20%

Percent spent on entertainment = 10%

Total = (25+30+20+10)% = 85%

As 100% is the full monthly salary, so remaining will be

Remaining salary = (100-85)% = 15%

Half of remaining is spent on charity = [tex]\frac{15}{2}=7.5\%[/tex]

Remaining 7.5% is saved by Jo.

Amount saved by Jo = $75

Let,

x be the monthly salary of Jo.

7.5% of x = 75

[tex]\frac{7.5}{100}x=75\\0.075x=75[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.075

[tex]\frac{0.075x}{0.075}=\frac{75}{0.075}\\x=1000[/tex]

Jo has a total monthly income for $1000.
