Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly gross income:

  • 12.50*35*4 = 1750

Taxes:

  • 1750*24/100 = 420

Saving amount:

  • 1750*10/100 = 175

Net income:

  • 1750 - 420 - 175 = 1155

A. The rental amount is more than Rex's net income, so the answer is No

B. He is left with negative balance, so this is also No
