Question

Krishna spends 1/3 of his monthly salary on food,1/5 on clothes,1/6 on education and the rest he saves. How much does he save if his monthly salary is Rs.13740​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

salary = s = rs. 13740

food = 1/3 * s = 1/3 * 13740 = 4580

clothes = 1/5 * s = 1/5 * 13740 = 2748

education = 1/6 * s = 1/6 * 13740 = 2290

savings = 13740 - (4580 + 2748 + 2290)

= 13740 - 9618

= 4122

He save Rs. 4122

Answer 2

Monthly salary of Krishna = Rs. 13740

Part of his salary he spends on food = 1/3

Therefore, amount of money he spends on food =

1/3 of 13740

1/3 × 13740 ( cut 3 and 13740 from 3)

4580

Part of his salary he spends on clothes = 1/5

Therefore, amount of money he spends on clothes = 1/5 of 13740

= 1/5×13740

= 2748

Part of his salary he spends on education = 1/6

Therefore, amount of money he spends on

education = 1/6 of 13740

= 1/6×13740

= 2290

Now, Amount of money he saves

= 13740 - (4580 + 2748 + 2290)

= 13740 - 9618

= 4122

Answer :- Krishna saves Rs. 4122.
