Dan gets £x wages each week. After he pays his tax of £t and then his rent of £155. He then shares what’s left between himself and his wife. How much do they each get?

Answer 1

Since concrete values are not provided I assume you are looking for a general formula. Walk step by step through what happens to the original amount.

Starts with pay, subtracts taxes, subtract rent, then split between him and wife.

(x - t - 155 )/ 2

or (x-t-155)/2 = the amount the each get.
