Question

Un estudiante planifica gastar 2/5 de sus ganancias en su educación. Si se gana 25000 este año, cuanto planifica gastar en su educación?

Answer 1

For this case we have:

A student plans to spend 2/5 of his earnings on his education. If you earn 25,000 this year, how much do you plan to spend on your education?

x: Let the variable that represents the student's earnings

y: Let the variable that represents the planned expenditure for education

If you plan to spend$\frac {2} {5}$ of your earnings on education we have:

$y = \frac {2} {5} x$

According to the statement we have to:

$x = 25,000$

So:

$y = \frac {2} {5} (25000)\\y = 10,000$

Thus, the student plans to spend 10,000 on his education

Answer:

10,000
