Answer 1

Answer:

The equation for the statement is $\dfrac{2}{5}x=3000$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the man spends $\frac{2}{5}$ part of his income on his food. And it is also given that the $\frac{2}{5}$ part of his income is 3000 rupees.

Therefore, let the income of the person be 'x'.

Then the equation for the given statement can be written as follows,

        $\dfrac{2}{5}x=3000$

We can also find the income by calculating the value of 'x'.

Hence the answer to the question is  $\dfrac{2}{5}x=3000$
