Alice’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 5 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 most appropriate option
A) 1/7 B) 1/5 C) 1/4 D) 5/17 E) 1/3
Alice's take-home pay was the same each month, and she saved the same fraction of her take-home pay each month. The total amount of money 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?   solution:   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 = 5Y   or 12/5X = Y   Total take-home salary= X+12/5X= 17/5 X   hence, she saved 5/17-th portion of her take home salary   5/17
