Question

dan gets £x wages a week. after he pays his tax of £t, he then pays his rent of £155. he shares whats left between himself and his wife. how much do they each get?

Answer 1

Wages received = £x

Tax Paid = £t

Rent paid = £155

Thus, Money left with him = £(x-t-155)

Now, he shares the leftover money between himself and his wife.

Thereby, Dan and his wife gets equal share of £(x-t-155)/2

Hence,

Amount of money they each get = £(x-t-155)/2
