Question

Jorge needs reduce his expense by 35% If he currently spends q dollars a month Write an expression for how much he will be spending once he reduces his expenses

Answer 1

The expression for the amount which Jorge spending after he reduce his expenses is 0.65 q

Explanation:

Given as :

The current expenses of Jorge = $ q per month

The Jorge needs to reduce his expenses by 35 %

Let The spending amount of Jorge after reduction in expenses = x

So, According to question

The value of Jorge expenses after reduction = The current expenses ×
`(1-(\textrm rate)/(100))^(time)`

where time in month

Or, x = $q ×
`(1-(\textrm 35)/(100))^(1)`

Or, x = $q × (0.65)

So, The expression which define the condition is x = 0.65 q

Hence The expression for the amount which Jorge spending after he reduce his expenses is 0.65 q Answer
