Answer: $180

Explanation:

For this exercose you need to analize the information provided.

You know that $480 is two-thirds
((2)/(3)) of Sam's weekly income.

Then, let me "x" one-fourth (
(1)/(4)) of Sam's weekly income. Based on the information provided in the exercise, you can write the following expression to find the value of "x". Therefore, this is:


x=(((1)/(4))(\$480))/((2)/(3) )\\\\x=\$180
