1. his expenditure per month
2. his savings per month
maths

Answer 1

Answer:

1)  $ 7200

2) $ 2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount the man earns per month = $9600

It is given that the man saves $\frac{1}{4}^{th}$ of his monthly salary.

So, he saves

$\frac{1}4$ of $9600

The 'of' operator here means nothing but '×'.

So, the man saves

$\frac{1}4$ × 9600

⇒ $ 2400

Now, we have to find out how much he spends.

Since he saves $ 2400 per month, we must subtract his monthly salary from  the amount of money he saves per month.

Applying this, we will get

$ 9600 - $ 2400 = $ 7200
