well, this month he has 8% more than last, so that means, if 352.86 is 100%, then this month he has 100%+8% or 108% of that
now, how much is 108% of 352.86?
well [tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\ 352.86&100\\ x&108 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{352.86}{x}=\cfrac{100}{108}[/tex]
solve for "x"

Answer:
His budget for this month is $381.09
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this question using a simple rule of three.
His budget last month, of $352.86, was 100% = 1. His budgets this month, which is x, is 8% higher, so 100+8 = 108% = 1.08. So
$352.86 - 1
$x - 1.08
[tex]x = 1.08*352.86[/tex]
[tex]x = 381.09[/tex]
His budget for this month is $381.09
