Answer: Tom saves $21
Step-by-step explanation: The monthly earning has been given as $30. The spendings are expressed as fractions of the total earnings. The expenses are as follows;
Lunch = one tenth of the earnings
Lunch = 1/10 x 30
Lunch = 30/10
Lunch = 3
Also he spends the following on music
Music = one fifth of the earnings
Music = 1/5 x 30
Music = 30/5
Music = 6
So he spends a total of 3 plus 6 which equals 9 dollars out of his earnings. His savings becomes
Savings = 30 - 9
Savings = 21
Therefore his savings is $21
Hello! I can help you with this! For this problem in order to find the amount of months it will take for them to have the same amount of money, we can write and solve an equation.
1. Okay. Amira has $80, and saves $40 a month. Max has $40 and saves $50 a month We have the numbers, so we can write the equation. Set it up like this:
80 + 40x = 40 + 50x
We set it up like this, because each girl has some money, but they're saving more to add to the total. Let's start solving. Subtract 40x from both sides. 40x - 40x cancels out. 50x - 40x is 10x. That shortens to 80 = 40 + 10x. Subtract 40 to get both sides by themselves. 40 - 40 cancel out. 80 - 40 is 40. That simplifies to 40 = 10x. Now, divide each side by 10 to isolate the x. 10x/10 cancel out. 40/10 is 4. Let's test this out and see if it works. 40 * 4 is 160. 160 + 80 is 240. 50 * 4 is 200. 200 + 40 is 240. 240 = 240. There. x = 4. Amira and Sasha will have the same amount of money in 4 months.
As you can see, this is a negative slope. It goes down three and over four, as seen on the x and y intercepts. The answer kind of pops out at you.
