Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the person's salary be rupees x.

Therefore, money spent on food =25x/100= x/4.

Remaining money=x-x/4= 3x/4

Money spent on cloth= 35/100* 3x/4

= 105x/400

Remaining money = 3x/4 - 105x/400

= 300x-105x/400= 195x/400

Money spent on rent = 20/100* 195x/400

= 1/5*195x/400= 195x/2000

Remaining money= 195x/400-195x/2000

= 975x-195x/2000= 780x/2000.

Hence 780x/2000= savings

Or, 780x/2000= 2496

Or, x= 2496*2000/780

Or, x= 32*200

Or, x= 6400.

Hence ,the salary was rupees 6400.

Therefore, money spent on cloth = 105 *6400/400= 105*16= 1680 rupees.

Answer: Money spent on cloth= rupees 1680.
