Respuesta :

Answer:

The officer saves $91.45 per month

~Step-by-step explanation~

Ok this is how I do fractions and its not very good, but it works.

First I divided 6400 by 5, 6, and 7, (I didn't do 3 because you can just multiply the answer to 6 by 2.) the reason I divided these is to see how much 1 part of their fraction is worth. So in total I got  1066.66 (irrational number) for insurance which means I got 2133.32 for his monthly living ( had to multiply by 2). For his car payment I got 1828.57 (I divided and then multiplied by 2) and for his rent I got 1280. I added these all together to get the total he spends each month which was 6308.55, and I subtracted that from 6400 to figure out that he puts $91.45 in his savings account

Answer:

The answer is R91.43.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly salary of the worker = R6400

The monthly expenses are 1/5 for rent that is [tex]\frac{1}{5}\times6400= 1280[/tex]

The car payment is 2/7 that is [tex]\frac{2}{7}\times6400= 1828.57[/tex]

The insurance is 1/6 that is [tex]\frac{1}{6}\times6400= 1066.67[/tex]

Few other monthly living expenses are 1/3 that is [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times6400= 2133.33[/tex]

We will total these values:

[tex]1280+1828.57+1066.67+2133.33=6308.57[/tex]

So, the amount that is saved per month = [tex]6400-6308.57=91.43[/tex]

The answer is R91.43.
