Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A boy spent 3/5 of his money on buying cloth and 1/4 of the remaining on buying shoes.

To Find: If initially he has rs.2,400.how much did he spend on shoes

Solution :

Since he had rs.2400

He spent 3/5 of his money on buying cloth

⇒$\frac{3}{5} *2400$

⇒$1440$

So, he spent rs.1440 on clothes

So remaining amount = 2400 - 1440 = Rs.960

Now we are given that he spent 1/4 of the remaining on buying shoes.

⇒$\frac{1}{4} *960$

⇒$240$

Hence he spent Rs. 240 on shoes
