Answer 2

Answer:

• He spent 20 percent of the total money given to him to buy the book.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount given: Rs. 2400

The amount consumed on the shirt: Rs. 820

The amount consumed on sweets: Rs. 300

The amount consumed on chocolates: Rs. 300

The amount consumed on a cake: Rs. 500

The total amount consumed: 820+300+300+500

Which is equal to 1920

Now, subtract 1920 from 2400

Which is equal to 480

He got a book for Rs. 480

To get the percentage:

Divide 2400 from 480

Which is equal to 0.2

In percentage, it is 20 percent.

He spent 20 percent of the total money given to him to buy the book.
