I have this question and kind of confused...
Mary spent $1/4 $ of her salary in for rent and $1/4$ more than rent for car payment. Which of the following could be the fraction of her savings if her saving is not less than $30$ % of the remaining salary.
A)$1/4$
B)$3/10$
C)$1/5$
D)$9/10$
E)$3/4$
one or more answers are correct.
s=salary r=rent payment c=car payment
$\frac{1}{4}s=\frac{4}{16}s=r$
$\frac{1}{4}s\cdot \left( 1+\frac{1}{4} \right) =c\Rightarrow \frac{5}{16}s=c$
Maximum saving: $s-\frac{5}{16}s-\frac{4}{16}s=\frac{16}{16}s-\frac{5}{16}s-\frac{4}{16}s=\frac{7}{16}s=\frac{70}{160}s$
Minimum saving: $0.3\cdot \frac{7}{16}s=\frac{21}{160}s$
