    Saved money = 0.41x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x : hours Andrea works

    If the 18% is subtracted from her paycheck, she still has the 82% (100 - 18)

    Then after that she has:

    0.82x

    Now Andrea saves 50% of the remaining check (0.82x)

    Saved money = 0.5 (0.82x)

    Saved money = 0.41x
