Question

Dan spends 1 /4 of his wages on rent and 1 /8 on food. If he makes £472 per week, how much money does he have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total expenditure =(1/4)472+(1/8)472

=118+59

=177

Money left=472-177=£295

Answer 2

The money left is £295.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dan spends 1 /4 of his wages on rent and 1 /8 on food.

And he makes £472 per week

$= > total \: expenditure = \frac{472}{4} + \frac{472}{8}$

$= > total \: expenditure = 118 + 59$

$= > \: total \: expenditure = 177$

The money left is given by,

$= > \:472 - total \: expenditure$

$= > \: 472 - 177 = 295$

The money left is £295.
