Question

what is an expression for the amount of money you can save if you use 5 over 6 of your wages for spending money? Evaluate your expression for weekly wages of $60, $120, $180, and $300.

Answer 1

if ur spending 5/6 of ur pay, u r saving 1/6
so ur expression would be 1/6x...where x is ur weekly wages

60... 1/6(60) = 60/6 = 10...u save 10
120.. 1/6(120) = 120/6 = 20...u save 20
180...1/6(180) = 180/6 = 30 ...u save 30
300.. 1/6(300) = 300/6 = 50...u save 50
