Since '1700' would be 100%, we can simply calculate the percentage she spent by dividing what she spent with her monthly income.

125 / 1700 = 0.0735

Now we multiply this number by 100 to get the total percentage she spent.

0.0735 x 100 = 7.35%

So, no, she did not spend 8% of her monthly income, she only spent 7.35%

Another way you can do this is by calculating how much 1% of her monthly income would be, and then multiplying it by 8 and comparing it to the total amount she spent.

Since '1700' would be 100%, then '1700' divided by 100 would equal how much 1% of her monthly income is.

1700/100 = 17

Now, we can multiply that by 8.

17 x 8 = 136

So, $136 is how much 8% of Lindsey's income.

Knowing this, and knowing she only spent $125,

the answer is

No, she did not spend 8% of her $1700 monthly income.

Or multiply 1700 by 8% which is .08 and compare that to 125.
