Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount left for wife = 24750
Portion (%) left to wife = 33%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total prize money = Rs 75,000
Paid as incometax = 1/10 of 75,000 = 7,500
Remaining amount = 75000 - 7500 = 67,500
Amount to son = 1/3 of remaining = 1/3 of 67500 = 22,500
Amount to daughter = 1/5 of remaining = 1/5 of 67500 = 13,500
Amount to RedCross Society= 1/10 of remaining = 1/10 of 67500 = 6,750
Total from remaining amount = (22500+13500+6750) = 42750
Amount left for wife = 67500 - 42750 = 24750
Portion (%) left to wife = (24750/75000 ) * 100 = 33%
