What is an expression for the amount of money you can save if you use 5/6 of your wages for spending money? Evaluate your expression for weekly wages of $60, $120, &180 and $300.
if u use 5/6 of ur wages for spending money, then u are saving 1/6 of ur wages. y = 1/6x....where x is ur weekly wages and y is amount saved for the week.
y = 1/6x.....when x = 60 y = 1/6(60) y = 60/6 y = 10
y = 1/6x...when x = 120 y = 1/6(120) y = 120/6 y = 20
y = 1/6x..when x = 180 y = 1/6(180) y = 180/6 y = 30
y = 1/6x...when x = 300 y = 1/6(300) y = 300/6 y = 50
