Ann spent her income of $4,080 one month.
Ann spent twice as much on expenses as on savings. If she spent an equal amount on food plus rent as on expenses plus savings, how much did she spend on expenses?
Expenses + Savings + Food + Rent = $4080
Let the amount of Savings be S
2S + S + Food + Rent = $4080
3S + 3S = $4080 .................. [As Food + Rent = Expenses + Savings]
6S = $4080
S = $680
So, Expenses = 2S = $1360
