Question

Mr. Arun gets Rs 9600 as salary per month. Out of it, he spends 1/4th on food. Out of the remaining salary, he spends 1/5th on rent and 3/8th on others. Find his expenditure and savings per month. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4 of salary = 9600×1÷4 = 2400

Then, Remaining salary = 9600-2400 = 7200

1/5 of remaining salary = 7200×1÷5 = 1440

3/8 of remaining salary = 7200×3÷8 = 2700

His Expenditure = 2400+1440+2700 = 6540

Savings = Salary - His Expenditure

Savings = 9600 - 6540 = 3060
