mary decided to save a certain amount of her monthly salary each month and her salary was unchanged from month to month . if mary ' s savings by the end of the year from these monthly savings were 7 times the amount she spent per month , what should be the fraction of her salary that she spent each month ? Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 1 / 4  B) 3 / 4  C) 10 / 19  D) 11 / 19  E) 12 / 19

Rationale: saving = s , expenditure = e , income = i at the end of 12 months ; 12 s = 7 e = 7 ( i - s ) = > 19 s = 7 i = > savings = 7 / 19 i hence expenditure = 1 - ( 7 / 19 ) = 12 / 19 answer ( e )
