basically i was given some numbers and want to figure out how to turn it into a fraction
question is that a woman makes 54 000 per year and 8400 goes to taxes and 1200 in union dues what fraction of her salary is remaining? i dont want the answer but how to do it since theres more like this and id like to not get fucked on the test
the fraction of her salary remaining will be [amount of money she has remaining] divided by [amount of money she started with]
the money she started with is easy: $54000
the money remaining is that number minus the taxes and dues.
once you make that division you will probably want to simplify it
