Answer 1

Rob has saved $24.

Explanation:

The first thing I noticed was that Rob only saved some of the money he earned. That means only x% only gets saved. To find x, I simply divided 6 by 14 and got 0.42857142857. Then to find the amount he saved from earning $56, I multiplied that number with 56 and got 24.
