Question

Meera spends 3/5 of her income of food and clothes and 1/4 of the remainder on miscellaneous items. Rest she saves. What fraction of the income does she save?

Answer 1

Answer:

let her income be x

so, the money spend on her food and clothes is 3x/5

left money= x-3x/5

=2x/5

the money spend on miscellaneous item= 2x/5-1x/4

=3x/20

the money that she saves=x-3x/20

=17x/20

so the money saved by her=17/20 of her income
