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[tex]\frac {2} {5}[/tex] of your earnings on education we have:
[tex]y = \frac {2} {5} x[/tex]
According to the statement we have to:
[tex]x = 25,000[/tex]
So:
[tex]y = \frac {2} {5} (25000)\\y = 10,000[/tex]
Thus, the student plans to spend 10,000 on his education
Answer:
10,000
