Question

Amy plans to spend 1/4 of his next month's income on
rent, 1/12 on transportation, 1/6 on food, $590 on other
expenses, and save $925. How much does he plan to
spend on food?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $505

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the listed expenses comprise all of Amy's income (x), we have ...

  (1/4)x +(1/12)x +(1/6)x + 590 +925 = x

  1515 = 1/2x . . . . . . subtract 1/2x

We note that 1/6x is for food. That amount is 1/3 of 1/2x, so the amount spent on food is ...

  (1/6)x = (1/3)(1/2x) = (1/3)(1515) = 505

Amy plans to spend $505 on food.
