Answer 2

Answer:

He spends 280$ on rent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his weekly wage be x.

Given that he spends 2/7 th of his weekly wage on food.

So, amount spent by him on food= (2/7)x

And it is also given that he spends 200$ on food.

So, 2x/7=200

This implies x=700

So, his weekly wage is 700

Now, it is also given that he spends 2/5 of his wage on rent.

So, amount spent by him on rent=(2/5)x

                                                         =(2/5)(700)

                                                         =280

So, he spends 280$ on rent.
