valen spend 55% on food and clothes

Answer 2

Answer:  58.5% of income spent on food and clothes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total annual income of Balen = Rs. 2500

Percentage of income spent on education = 10%

Amount spent on education is given by

$\dfrac{10}{100}\times 2500\\\\=Rs.\ 250$

Remaining amount = 2500-250 = Rs. 2250

Percentage of remaining income spent on housing = 20%

Amount spent on housing is given by

$\dfrac{20}{100}\times 2250\\\\=Rs.\ 450$

Percentage of remaining deposited in saving account = 15%

Amount saved is given by

$\dfrac{15}{100}\times 2250\\\\=Rs.\ 337.5$

Total amount spent = Rs. 337.5+Rs. 450=Rs. 787.50

Remaining amount = 2250-787.5 =Rs. 1462.5

So, percentage of income he spent on food and clothes is given by

$\dfrac{1462.5}{2500}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{1462.5}{25}\\\\=58.5\%$

Hence, 58.5% of income spent on food and clothes.
