Question

Brian gets £
x
wages each week. After he pays his tax of £
t
, he then pays his rent of £220. He shares what's left between himself and his wife. How much do they each get?

Answer 1

Each gets  $\frac{x-(t-220)}{2}$ pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The income of Brian = £ x,

Amount of tax = £ t

Rent = £ 220

So, the total spending = £( t + 220 )

Thus, the amount left = total income - total spending

                                    = x - ( t + 220 )

∵ The remaining amount is divided between two persons equally,

Hence, the amount gotten by each = $\frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Total persons}}$

                                                           = $\frac{x-(t-220)}{2}$
