a worker ' s take - home pay last year was the same each month , and she saved the same fraction of her take - home pay each month . the total amount of money that she had saved at the end of the year was 2 times the amount of that portion of her monthly take - home pay that she did not save . if all the money that she saved last year was from her take - home pay , what fraction of her take - home pay did she save each month ?
"let x be the fraction of her take - home pay that the worker saved . let p be the monthly pay . 12 xp = 2 ( 1 - x ) p 12 xp = 2 p - 2 xp 14 xp = 2 p x = 1 / 7 the answer is a ."
inverse(add(divide(const_12, 2), const_1))
