Question

A man spends one-third of his monthly income on food one fourth on children's education one-sixth on clothing. he keeps remaining Rs 7000 for miscellaneous expenses of the month. what is his monthly income?

Answer 1

Let the total income be 'x'

part of children's Education 1/4 = 1/4× x

food = 1/3 × x

clothing = 1/6 × x

miscellaneous expenses=7000

x - x/4 - x/3 - x/6= 7000

12x - 3x -4x - 2x / 12= 7000

3x = 7000 × 12

3x = 84000

x = 84000/3 = 28000 is the income
