Question

Out of a salary of $4500, I kept 1/3 as savings. Out of the remaining money, I spend 50% on food and 20% on house rent. How much do I spend on food and house rent

Answer 1

My salary=$4500

Amount of money I kept as savings=1/3 of my salary=1/3*4500=$1500

Remaining salary=$4500-Rs 1500=$3000

Percentage of money I spent on food=50% of remaining salary

Amount of money I spent on food=(50/100)*$3000=$1500house

Percentage of money I spent on house rent=20% of remaining salary

Amount of money I spent on house rent= (20/100)*$3000=$600

Therefore I spent  $1500 on food and $600 on house rent.

Answer 2

Answer:

$1,500 spent on Food

$600 spent on House Rent

Step by Step Explanation:

Total salary = $4,500

Savings = 1/3

Out of remaining money:

Spent on Food = 50%

Spent on House Rent = 20%

Savings = 1/3 * $4,500 = $1,500

Left = $3,000

Spent on Food = 50% of $3,000 = $1,500

Spent on House Rent = 20% of $3,000 = $600
