The money m (in £) Xavier 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 £120 a week and pays £41 in tax.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the money m (in £) Xavier has to spend each week is his wage w (in £) subtract the tax t (in £) he pays on his income. Therefore, the formula for the money he can spend will be:

m = w - t

The amount of money that he has to spend if he earns £120 a week and pays £41 in tax will be:

m = w - t

m = £120 - £41

m = £79
