Question

12. A man earns 16,500 per month. He spends 80%
his income. What does he save every month?​

Answer 1

Answer:

He saves Rs 3,300 every month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

• Total earnings of a man in a month = Rs 16,500
• He spends his income = 80%

Let us assume that he saves Rs x every month.

According to the question:

x + 80% of 16500 = 16500

→ x + 0.8 × 16500 = 16500

→ x + 13200 = 16500

→ x = 16500 - 13200

→ x = 3300

∴ He saves Rs 3,300 every month.

Answer 2

Given :-

• A man earns => 16,500
• He spend 80% of his income

To Find :-

How much he save

Solution :-

Let's assume the saving be a.

a + 80% of 16500 = 16500

a + 80/100 × 16500 = 16500

a + 80 × 165 = 16500

a + 13200 = 16,500

a = 16,500 - 13,200

a = 3,300
