A man spends 2/5 of his salary on house rent ,3/10 of his salart on food and 1/8 of his salary on cnveyance .if he has rs 1400 left with him.find his ecpenditure on food and conveyance?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2400 spent on food and $1000 spent on conveyance.

Step-by-step explanation:

You must add up the three expenses:

2/5 + 3/10 + 1/8 = (32+24+10)/80

This adds up to 66/80 of the whole salary

The $1400 that is left makes up 14/80 of the salary.

1/80 (or one part) is equal to $100. By now multiplying the amount of parts with $100 you get:

24 x $100 = $2400 for food

10 x $100 = $1000 for conveyance
