    Since the income known in the problem is for semi-monthly (meaning every half of the month), we should compute for the monthly income because we what know is the amount of money Laura allots on a monthly basis for her annual expenses.

    Since semi-monthly income is received twice per month, the monthly income of Laura is two times her semi-monthly income ( = $1820). That is,

    monthly income

    = 2 * semi-monthly income

    = 2 * $1820

    monthly income = $3,640

    Because $54 is budgeted each month for annual expenses, the percentage of the monthly income that is allocated for annual expenses is computed as

    percentage of the monthly income

    = ((monthly income allocated for annual expenses) : (monthly income)) * 100%

    = ($54 : $3,640) * 100%

    ≈ 0.0148351648 * 100%

    percentage of the monthly income ≈ 1%

    Answer: The correct answer is 1%.

    If she is getting $1820 semimonthly. That means that she is getting $3640 per month. 1820 x 2 = 3640

    Now, we just need to find the percent of that which goes for the annual expenses.

    Divide 54 by 3640 and multiply by it 100 to get a percent of 1.4% which can be rounded to 1%.
