Answer 1

Given: A boy spent $\dfrac{3}{5}$ of his money on clothes and $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of the remaining on buying shoes. He has initially Rs. 2400

To find: Money he spent on shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Boy has money = Rs. 2400

Money spent on cloth =  $\dfrac{3}{5} \times \text {Total money }=\dfrac{3}{5} \times2400= 1440$

Remaining money = Total money - money spend on cloth

                               $= 2400- 1440 = Rs. \text { } 960$

Money spent on shoes = $\dfrac{1}{4}\times \text { Remaining money } = \dfrac{1}{4}\times 960=Rs. \text { } 240$

Hence, he spent Rs. 240 on shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Boy has money = Rs. 2400

Money spent on cloth =  \dfrac{3}{5} \times \text {Total money }=\dfrac{3}{5} \times2400= 144053×Total money =53×2400=1440

Remaining money = Total money - money spend on cloth

                               = 2400- 1440 = Rs. \text { } 960=2400−1440=Rs. 960

Money spent on shoes = \dfrac{1}{4}\times \text { Remaining money } = \dfrac{1}{4}\times 960=Rs. \text { } 24041× Remaining money =41×960=Rs. 240

Hence, he spent Rs. 240 on shoes
