Solution

Let's denote Dianne's net monthly income as x x .

According to the problem, Dianne spends 40% of her net income on rent and 15% on food. Therefore, the total amount she spends on rent and food can be expressed as: 0.40x+0.15x 0.40x + 0.15x

We know that this total amount is $1375. So, we can set up the following equation: 0.40x+0.15x=1375 0.40x + 0.15x = 1375

Combining the terms on the left side, we get: 0.55x=1375 0.55x = 1375

To find x x , we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.55: x=13750.55 x = \frac{1375}{0.55}

Now, let's perform the division: x=2500 x = 2500

Therefore, Dianne's net monthly income is $2500.
