Respuesta :

Answer: The fraction of the original allowance does she plan to save = [tex]\dfrac16[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = original monthly allowance

Monthly allowance left = [tex]\dfrac23x[/tex]

She plans to save = [tex]\dfrac14[/tex] of (Monthly allowance left)

= [tex]\dfrac14\times\dfrac23x[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{2}{12}x\\\\=\dfrac{1}{6}x[/tex]

i.e. the fraction of the original allowance does she plan to save = [tex]\dfrac16[/tex]
