The net monthly income of Trisha is $1,437.40

She spends 27% of her income on rent and 22% on food.

We are asked to find out how much money she spends each month on rent and food.

We have to find 27% of $1,437.40 and 22% of $1,437.40 then add them.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{27}{100}\times\$1,437.40=\$388.098 \\ \frac{22}{100}\times\$1,437.40=\$316.228 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the total money is

[tex]\$388.098+\$316.288=\$704.33[/tex]

Therefore, she spends $704.33 each month on rent and food.
