Pension Percentage
1. The problem asks for the percentage of Lorraine Booi's monthly gross income that she contributes to her pension.
2. Given data:
- Monthly gross income = 34533.25
- Monthly pension contribution = 3798.66
3. To find the percentage of her salary going to her pension, we use the formula:
$$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Pension contribution}}{\text{Gross income}}\right) \times 100$$
4. Substitute the values:
$$\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{3798.66}{34533.25}\right) \times 100$$
5. Calculate the ratio:
$$\frac{3798.66}{34533.25} \approx 0.1100$$
6. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
$$0.1100 \times 100 = 11.0\%$$
7. Rounded to one decimal place, the percentage of her salary that goes to her pension is **11.0%**.
