Answer 1

John spent 1/3 of his monthly salary on rent, 1/4 on food, 1/6 on travelling and 1/8 on clothes. If he has $1 250 left, what is his salary?

1/3=8/24

1/4=6/24

1/6=4/24

1/8=3/24

Total expenditure:

8+6+4+3 /24=21/24

Savings:

$1250=24–21/24

=3/24

=1/8th of his salary

1250 x 8=$10,000 as his monthly salary………

Answer 2

Let the paycheck be x

Then

X × 1/4 = 150

X = 150 × 4 = 600

Therefore the paycheck was worth $600.
