Question

18. Out of a salary of $4500, I kept 1/3 as savings. Out of the remaining money, I spend 50 % on food and 20 % on house rent. How much do I spend on food and house rent?

Answer 1

Here is your answer :

Savings = 4500 * 1/3
=1500 dollars...
Remaining money =4500 - 1500
=3000 dollars

Money spent for food = 50%*3000
=50/100*3000
=1500 dollars.

Money spent on house rent = 20%*3000
=20/100*3000
= 600 dollars.

Total money spent = 1500 + 600 dollars
= 2100 dollars..

Hope this will help u my dear......
