You would have to round it up, because there is still a small amount of time that she needs to pay for the whole trip. She can't really split the week into parts.

This is one tenth of the number which equals to £20.08. When you deduct it it is £187.20.Now you must deduct the other £110 which she spends on doing things. £187.20 - £110 = £77.20. This is how much she saves every week. Now we must divide 439 by 77.20 = 6.

This means that she earns £208 in one week.<br /><br />Step 2: If she pays one tenth of her weekly earnings in tax and national insurance (which she does), you have to find one tenth first:<br />1/10 of £208 = £20.80.<br /><br />Step 3: Take away the one tenth so you are left with what she has remaining after she has had it taken away:<br />£208 - £20.80 = £187.20<br />She now has £187.20<br /><br />Step 4: She then gives £50 of her weekly earnings that are left (£187.20) to her family for her room and food:<br />£187.20 - £50 = £137.20<br />She now has £137.20 left.<br /><br />Step 5: She spends £60 on socialising, clothing and other things:<br />£137.20 - £60 = £77.20.<br />She now has £77.20 left. This is what she saves.<br /><br />Step 6: If her trip to Portugal costs $439, and she has £77.20 left every week, she obviously won't be able to go straight away. To work out how many it'll take her to save enough money to go, you do:<br />£439 / £77.20 = 5.68652849741. Rounded to the nearest number, it would take her 6 weeks.<br />Poojanoreply@blogger.com
