Question

A man spends 2/5 of his salary on house rent, 3/10 of his salary on conveyance. if he has Rs.1400 left with him, find his expenditure on food and conveyance?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his salary = 100

House Rent = 100 * 2/5 = 40

Food = 100 * 3/10 = 30

Conveyance = 100 * 1/8 = 12.5.

Total Salary = 100

Savings = 1400

100 - 40 + 30 + 12.5 = 1400

17.5 = 1400

1 = 1400/17.5

100 = (1400 * 100)/17.5 = 8000.

Total Salary = 8000.

Expenditure on food = 8000 * 3/10 = 2400.

Expenditure on conveyance = 8000 * 1/8 = 1000.
