\n" ); document.write( "Mary spends 1/2 of her income on rent and food, 1/12 on entertainment, and 1/4 of her income on clothing. She saves the rest, which is $500. What is her monthly income?
\n" ); document.write( "I figure out that LCD is 12 but have not been able to figure out from there.
\n" ); document.write( "
Let income be I
\n" ); document.write( "Then we get: \"%281%2F2%29I+%2B+%281%2F12%29I+%2B+%281%2F4%29I+%2B+500+=+I\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"I%2F2+%2B+I%2F12+%2B+I%2F4+%2B+500+=+I\"
\n" ); document.write( "6I + I + 3I + 6,000 = 12I -------- Multiplying by LCD, 12
\n" ); document.write( "10I + 6,000 = 12I
\n" ); document.write( "6,000 = 12I - 10I
\n" ); document.write( "6,000 = 2I
\n" ); document.write( "I, or income = \"%226%2C000%22%2F2\", or \"highlight_green%28%22%243%2C000%22%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
