Question

Colin gets £ wages each week. After he pays his tax of £ , he then pays his rent of £120. He shares what's left between himself and his wife. How much do they each get?

Answer 1

Answer:

[ Since the data is insufficient, we formulate a value from which exact values can be found. We consider that tax and rent are payable weekly. ]

Answer:

Each of them gets {X - (T + 120)}/2

Solution:

Let, total wage of Colin = X

Let, the amount of tax = T

He pays 120 for his rent and then they he and his wife shares the rest (where we consider that they share the same).

Then they both get a total of

= wage of colin - (amount of tax + rent)

= X - (T + 120)

Therefore, each of them gets

= { X - (T + 120) } / 2

Answer 2

Answer:

the total wages in Euro is not specified here !!.

if the wage is x

then the money left with them is :-

x - 120 Euros .
