: Ruth has recently graduated from college and is trying to determine how much she can afford to pay towards rent. She-would prefer to move into an apartment of her own rather than moving back in with her parents, so a budget is crucial to achieving this goal. She has secured a job at a small advertising rm where she will take home $2,600 after taxes. She has the opportunity to work at a local caf on the weekends for 9 hours per month where she will earn $13 per hour after taxes. Her monthly expenses include the following: Phone, $80; Internet, $95; Car Payment, $300; Car Insurance, $34: Groceries and Household Supplies, $420; Eating Out and Entertainment. ' $120; and Student Loans, $720. Using zero-based budgeting, how much rent could Ruth afford only with just the income from her full- time job without working the weekend parttime hours at the caf? ,, ,,._.. ,7. 7,,._.___, - - 777--.\"; t
