1
5
of his wages on rent and
2
3
on food. If he makes £645 per week, how much money does he have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent: 1/5 x 495

Food: 2/3 x 495

Balance: £495 - £429

Answer 2

He has left with Rs. 86.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Fraction of his wages spent on rent = $\dfrac{1}{5}$

Fraction of his wages spent on food = $\dfrac{2}{3}$

So, Total fraction of his wages spent is given by

$\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3+10}{15}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{15}$

Fraction left from wages is given by

$1-\dfrac{13}{15}\\\\=\dfrac{15-13}{15}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{15}$

So, Amount of money has left is given by

$\dfrac{2}{15}\times 645\\\\=43\times 2\\\\=86$

Hence, he has left with Rs. 86.
