Question

On one day a rickshaw puller earned $80. Out of his earnings he spent $13.60 on tea and snacks, $25.50 on food and $4.40 on repairs of the rickshaw. How much did he save on that day

Answer 1

This is a question of simple addition and subtraction.

The total income that day was :

= $ 80

The expenditure was as follows :

Tea and snacks = $ 13.60

Food = $ 25.50

Repairs =  $ 4.40

Total expenditure = 13.60 + 25.50 + 4.40 = $ 43.5

savings = Total income - Total expenditure

Savings = 80 - 43.5 = $ 36.5

Answer 2

Given :

Earnings per day = $ 80

Expenditure on tea and snacks =$13.60

Expenditure on food = $ 25.50

Expenditure on repairs of rickshaw = $ 4.40

________________________________

Finding his savings on that day -

Add all the expenses -

13.60 + 25.50 + 4.40

43.50

Subtract expenses from earnings -

80 - 43.50

36.5

Hence : Savings = $ 36.50
