Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount with paul=1250

Amount with paul wife = 1750

As we know that ,

They both spend 20 % of it

Now,

Paul spend = 1250/ 100× 20

= 125/10×20

=125×2

=RS 250

Now,

Paul's wife spend in all =1750/100×20

=175/10×20

=175×2

=RS 350

Therefore,

Parul wife spend in all

=1750 - 350

=RS 1400/

Answer 2

Answer:

14.28 %

Step-by-step explanation:

paul has 1250

his wife has 1750

paul spent 20% of his money i.e., 20 * 1250 / 100 = 250

his wife spent same amount as paul i.e., Rs. 250

the % of money spent by his wife is 250 / 1750 * 100 = 14.28%
