well, that is if Faith can do 12 -7
To find out how much the man saved, we need to subtract the amount he spent on food and rent from his total income. Let's assume his total income is represented by 'x.'
He spent 1/4 of his income on food, which can be calculated as 1/4 * x.
He spent 1/3 of his income on rent, which can be calculated as 1/3 * x.
To calculate the amount he saved, we need to subtract the total amount he spent (on food and rent) from his total income:
Amount Saved = Total income – Amount spent on food – Amount spent on rent
Amount Saved = x - (1/4 * x) - (1/3 * x)
Let's simplify this expression:
Amount Saved = x - (1/4)x - (1/3)x
Amount Saved = x - (3/12)x - (4/12)x
Amount Saved = x - (7/12)x
Therefore, the man saved (1 - 7/12)x of his income, which simplifies to (5/12)x.
