Maricris spends 1/2 of her monthly income on food and rent, 1/4 of her income on clothing and 1/12 on entertainment. She saves the rest which is $700. What is her monthly income?
1 / 2 + 1 / 4 + 1 / 12 =
6 / 12 + 3 / 12 + 1 / 12 = 10 / 12
= 5 / 6
So, "the rest" is R = (1 / 6) • (total)
700 = (1 / 6) • (total)
total = 6 • 700
total = 4200
