Question

Jimmy has gross monthly pay of £1,100 and total deductions of £87.54. How much money will be paid into his bank account this month?

Answer 1

£1012.46

Explanation:

If we wanted to solve for x (x = money paid into his bank account this month), we can use this equation:

• The total amount of money - deductions = x

Inserting the numbers into the equation:

• £1,100 - 87.54 = 1012.46

Therefore, Jimmy will be paid 1012.46 this month.
