Question 251844: Jan’s income is 5/8 that of Fran’s. Jan’s expenses are 1/2 of Fran’s expenses,
and Jan saves 40% of her income. What percent of her income does Fran save?
(Assume that what is not spent is saved.)
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's say that Fran earns 800. If Jan's 5/8*800=500
Let's say that Fran's expenses are 600 so that Jan's expenses are 300
500-300=200
200/500=2/5=40% savings
Fran gets 800 but spends 600
800-600=200
200/800=1/4=25% of Fran's income not spent (saved)
