Answer: A) Derek saves 10% of his income each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : We have given the equation s = 0.1t, where t is Derek's monthly total income and s is the total savings of the month.

To find: We have to find the correct statement which states the monthly savings of Derek for a month.

Explanation: As we know s = 0.1 t.

0.1 t could be written as 10/100 t and 10/100 t could be read as 10 % of t that is 10% of the monthly total income.

Therefore correct option is:

A) Derek saves 10% of his income each month.
