Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

Let the monthly budget be $x$. We know that $800$ is $15\%$ (or $0.15$) of $x$. So the equation is $0.15x = 800$.

Step2: Solve for $x$

Divide both sides of the equation by $0.15$: $x=\frac{800}{0.15}=\frac{800}{\frac{15}{100}}=\frac{800\times100}{15}=\frac{80000}{15}=\frac{16000}{3}\approx5333.33$.

Answer:

$\$5333.33$
