To Find : How much do they each get

Solution:

Colin gets £ x wages each week

After that he pays his tax of £ t

Net Receiving =  wages - taxes

= (x  - t)  £

pays his rent of £250

Left = Net Receiving  - Rent

=  (x  - t) - 250  £

= (x - t -  250)  £

shares what's left between himself and his wife.

 each get  =  (x - t -  250)/2  £

= ( x - t)/2 - 125   £

each get = ( x - t)/2 - 125   £
