Answer 1

The answer is Rs.543.92.

Explanation:

Amount Mr Roy gives the maid = Rs.679.90/-

Amount maid spends on groceries = 0.2 * 679.90

                                                           

                                                           = 2/10 (679.90)            

                                                           

                                                          = 2 * 67.990  

Thus, amount maid spends on groceries = Rs.135.98

Maid’s salary = Rs.679.90 – Rs.135.98

Hence, what maid earns is Rs.543.92.
