Answer:

He saves 560.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount he saves out of 20 dollars is

20 -15 = 5

The fraction he saves is

5/20 = 1/4

Multiply the total amount he earns in 4 weeks

4 * 560 = 2240

by the fraction that he saves

2240 * 1/4 =560

He saves 560.

Answer:

$ 560

Step-by-step explanation:

Fred spends  [tex]\frac{15}{20}[/tex] of his earnings, which simplifies to [tex]\frac{3}{4} \:or\: 75%.[/tex] Therefore, he saves  [tex]1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \:or \:25%.[/tex]

Given Fred's weekly take-home pay is $560, he saves [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of this amount:

[tex]\text{Amount saved each week} = \frac{1}{4} \times 560 = 140[/tex]

To find out how much he saves in four weeks:

[tex]\text{Amount saved in four weeks} = 4 \times 140 = 560[/tex]
