Question

A person receives a paycheck of d dollars. The person spends 18% of the

paycheck on rent, 15% of the paycheck on insurance, and 22% of the paycheck

on food and puts the remainder of the paycheck into savings.

If the amount the person puts into savings can be

represented by the

expression d - 0.18d - 0.15d - 0.22d, which expression also represents the

amount the person puts into savings?

O 0.45d

O 0.550

O 1.450

O 1.550

Answer 1

0.45d

Explanation:

Given that :

Amount of paycheck = d

Amount spent on rent = 18%

Amount spent on insurance = 15%

Amount spent on food = 22%

Amount put into savings = d - 0.18d - 0.15d - 0.22d

Amount put into savings = d - ( 0.18d + 0.15d + 0.22d)

d - 0.55d

Amount put into savings = 0.45d
