Question

Akwasi spend 1/3 of his salary on rent, 1/4 on food, and1/5 on clothes. If he is left with 390 Ghana cedis . Find his monthly income

Answer 1

Answer:

975Rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total income be x.

Income spent on food=1/3 of x= x/3.

Remaining= x-x/3=2x/3.

Income spent on rent= 1/4 of 2x/3=x/6.

Remaining=2x/3-x/6=x/2.

Income spent on clothes=1/5 of x/2= x/10.

Remaining=x/2-x/10=4x/10.

Also Remaining income=390Rs.

So, 4x/10=390

=>4x=3900

=>x=975
