Question

in your piggy bank you rs.240 . you spent 1/5th of your piggy bonk to buy story books and 3/4th of your piggy bank to watch movies. how much money you spend altogether and how much money left in piggy bank​

Answer 1

Given: Initial money in the piggy bank = Rs 240

           Amount spent on story books = 1/5 of Rs 240

           Amount spent on watching movies = 3/4 of Rs 240

To find: Money spend altogether on books and movies & amount left in the piggy bank

Solution: According to the given question,

Money available in the piggy bank at the beginning = Rs 240

Amount spend on story books = $\frac{1}{5}$ × 240

                                                  = Rs 48

Amount spend on watching movies = $\frac{3}{4}$ × 240

                                                            = Rs 180

Total money spend on story books and movies = Rs 48 + Rs 180

                                                                                  = Rs 228

Money left in the piggy bank = Initial amount - amount spend on story books and movies

                                                = Rs 240 - Rs 228

                                                = Rs 12
