Question

A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days. Write an expression to determine how many pesos he saved per day

Answer 1

Answer:
`(x)/(10)-y`

Explanation:

Given : A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days.

i.e. Total earning in 10 days = x

Earning per day =
`(x)/(10)` [By unitary method] (1)

Money spent per day =y (2)

We know that

`\text{Savings = Money earned - Money spent}`

i.e. Subtract (2) from (1), we get

`\text{Savings = }(x)/(10)-y`

Hence, the expression to determine how many pesos he saved per day will be:-

`(x)/(10)-y`
