Vsevolod [243]

Answer: $\dfrac{x}{10}-y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days.

i.e. Total earning in 10 days = x

Earning per day = $\dfrac{x}{10}$ [By unitary method] (1)

Money spent per day =y (2)

We know that

$\text{Savings = Money earned - Money spent}$

i.e. Subtract (2) from (1), we get

$\text{Savings = }\dfrac{x}{10}-y$

Hence, the expression to determine how many pesos he saved per day will be:-

$\dfrac{x}{10}-y$
