Answer 2

Given:

salary of Ram - Rs. 6120

Savings = 1\3 of salary

Food = 35% after savings

Shopping= 12% after savings.

To find:

amount saved by Ram

amount of salary spent on food and shopping.

Solution:

Salary = 6120

$savings = \frac{1}{3} \times salary$

$savings = \frac{1}{3} \times 6120$

$savings = 2039.999999796$

rounding off the decimals to the nearest whole number.

$savings = 2040$

$salary \: after \: savings = 6120 - 2040$

$salary \: after \: savings = 4080$

It is given that Ram spent 35% on food and 12% on shopping from the remaining salary that is Rs. 4080.

$spent \: on \: food \\ = 35\% \times salary \: after \: savings$

$spent \: on \: food = \frac{35}{100} \times 4080$

$spent \: on \: food = 1428$

Ram spent Rs. 1428 on food from his salary.

$spent \: on \: shopping \\ = 12\% \times salary \: after \: savings$

$spent \: on \: shopping \: = \frac{12}{100} \times 4080$

$spent \: on \: shopping \: = 489.6$

rounding off the decimal point to the nearest whole number.

$spent \: on \: shopping \: = 490$

Ram spent Rs.490 on shopping from his salary.

Therefore,

The amount saved by Ram is Rs. 2040.

The amount of salary spent on food is Rs. 1428 and shopping is Rs. 490.
