Question

A man spends one fourth of his income on food, 15% on education and 22% on rent. 266 saves, then what is the monthly income of that man?​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the income be x

then,

x-{15/100 x -22/100 x}=226

Answer 2

The monthly income of that man would be $700.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage of money spent on education = 15%

Percentage of money spent on food = 25%

Percentage of money spent on rent = 22%

Amount saves = Rs. 266

Remaining percentage would be

$100-(25+22+15)\\\\=100-62\\\\=38\%$

Let the monthly income of that man be 'x'.

According to question, we get that

$0.38x=266\\\\x=\dfrac{266}{0.38}=\ 700$

Hence, the monthly income of that man would be $700.
