    49.5%.

    Explanation:

    % of salary towards social security tax = (19000/200,000) * 100

    = 9.5%

    % of savings = 15%

    Yearly mortgage payments = 4333.33*12

    = 52000

    % of mortgage payments = (52000/200,000) * 100

    = 26%

    Replacement ratio = 100% - (9.5% + 15% + 26%)

    = 49.5%

    Therefore, You would expect Lori's wage replacement ratio to be 49.5% at retirement.
