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

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 to rent.

1/3 OF THE REMAINDER, so 1/3 of 1/2, or 1/6 on food

2/5 of what is left, so 2/5 of 1 - (1/2 + 1/6) or 2/5 * 1/3 (= 2/15) on misc

4500 is the balance, 1 - (1/2 + 1/6 + 2/15) = (30 - (15 + 5 + 4)) / 30 = 6/30 = 1/5

So he started with 4500 * 5 = 22,500.

11,250 to rent (11,250 remainder)

3,750 to food (7,500 remainder)

3,000 to misc

4,500 balance saved

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
