Question

The money m (in £) Billy has to spend each week is his wage w (in £) subtract the tax t (in £) he pays on his income. Enter a formula for the money he can spend and enter how much he has to spend if he earns £150 a week and pays £42 in tax.

Answer 1

m = w - t

£108

Explanation:

m = Money Billy has to spend per week :

m = wage, w - tax, t

Hence,

m = w - t

Given;

Wage = £150 ; tax = £42

m = £150 - £42

m = £108
