on decoration and rest of the money was
spent on two equal parts for food and gifts.
What was the total percentage of money
spent on decoration, food and gifts?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$out \: of \: 15000 \\ 20\%was \: spent \: on \: decoration \\ so \\ money \: spent \: on \: decoration = \\ \frac{20}{100} \times 15000 \\ \implies 20 \times 150 = 3000 \\ so \: money \: left = \\ 15000 - 3000 = 12000 \\ now \: acoording \: to \: the \: quetsion \\ rest \: money \: i.e.12000 \: is \: divided \: equally \\ i.e. \: \dfrac{12000}{2} = 6000 \\ so \: \% \: of \: rest \: expenditure = \\ 40\%each \\ because \\ total\% = 100 \\ 100 - 20 = 80(on \: food) \\ and \: this \: 80\%is \: divided \: equally \\ i.e.40\%each$
