Question

Jack is paid $1800 a month. He spends half his money on rent. He spends the rest on food, bills, and savings in the ratio 4:3:2. How much does he spend on bills?

Answer 1

Answer:

$201

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount Jack is paid = $1800

Money spent for rent = half of $1800 = $600

ratio of spending money for other = 4 : 3 : 2

= 4x + 3x + 2x = 600

= 9x = 600

= x = 600/9 = (approximately) 67

Money spent for bills = 3x = 3(67) = $201

Answer 2

Answer:

201

Step-by-step explanation:

amount jack paid =1800

money spent =1800= 600

ratio number 4:3:2

4X+ 3X + 2X =600

9X =. 900

× = 600/9

• money spend = 3X = (67)=201
