A worker'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 correct choice from the following options.
A) 2/11	B) 3/14	C) 5/17	D) 7/20	E) 11/30
Let x be the fraction of her take-home pay that the worker saved.   Let P be the monthly pay.   12xP = 5(1-x)P   12xP = 5P - 5xP   17xP = 5P   x = 5/17   The answer is 5/17.
