Question

Last year Emma's take home pay was Rs.15000/- of which she spent Rs.6000 on rent. She used the rest of the money for living expenses, clothes and entertainment in the ratio 3 : 1 : 2. How much did she spend on entertainment last year? *

Answer 1

Answer:

ans.=Rs.4500

Step-by-step explanation:

1. subtract the rent = 15,000-6000 =9000

2. let us assume the the ratios as x, hence

3x+x+2x=6x

A/C question,

6x=11000

3. x=1500

Therefore, money spent on entertainment=3x

=1500×3=4500rs.
