Jennie’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 3 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?
Choose the correct option:  A) 1/7  B) 1/5  C) 1/4  D) 1/3  E) 1/2
Suppose the portion of her salary that she saved is X   and the remaining portion is Y   X+Y= total take home salary   given, 12X = 3Y   or 4X = Y   Total take-home salary= X+ 4X= 5X   hence, she saved 1/5-th portion of her take home salary   1/5
