Question

write 2863.09 variable expenses and 4630.16 total expenses in an equation to represent a person's fixed expenses

Answer 1

Fixed expenses are equal to Total expenses minus Variable expenses:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Fixed expenses = Total expenses - Variable expenses} \\ F=T-V \end{gathered}$

Since T=$4630.16 and V=$2863.09, the we have

$\begin{gathered} F=4630.16-2863.09 \\ F=1767.07 \end{gathered}$

So, this result represent the fixed expenses.
