Answer 1

Answer:

Money Mary spent on clothes is $ 240 and money spent on food is $ 160. The difference is $ 80 and percentage difference is 20%. The money left with her is $ 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rupees Mary had = $400

Money spent on clothes = 60% = 60/100 × 400 = $ 240

Money spent on food = 40% = 40/100 × 400 = $ 160

Difference = 240 - 160 = $ 80

Difference in % = 80/400 × 100 = 20%

Money left with her = 400 - (240 + 160)

                                 = 400 - 400 = $ 0

∴ Money Mary spent on clothes is $ 240 and money spent on food is $ 160. The difference is $ 80 and percentage difference is 20%. The money left with her is $ 0.
