Question

- Mrs. Nadeem was given Rs. 12,000 every month for the household
expenses. She used 17/24 of it to buy food for the family and 5/7 of the
remainder for clothes and other expenses. She put the remaining
money into the bank as savings for the family. Find the amount she
put into the bank.​

Answer 1

(17/24)(1200) = $850

So the remainder at this stage was $350; 5/7 of this is $250 spent on clothes & other things.

Therefore savings was $100.
