For Q 1, please search the forums, you'll find recent posts.

For Q2 : here is what i think.

let x is the fration alice saved everymonth
means she spent 1-x everymonth

Now as per question stem :
Amount of money she saved in a year = 12*x
3 times the monthly money she did not save = 3*(1-x)

12*x = 3*(1-x)
9x=3
x=1/3

Answer B

Like I told on the other thread, start a separate thread (one question per thread) for each question.
