Answer 1

QuestioN :

Raman's monthly salary is ? 9600. He spends  1/4 of his salary on food and out of the remaining, he spends 1/5 on rent and 1/6 on education of his children, Find

i) how much does he spend on each part?

ii) how much money is left with him?

ANswer :

Rs = 4560

GiveN :

• Raman's monthly salary = Rs 9600

• He spends 1/4 of his salary on food

• And out of the remaining, he spends 1/5 on rent and 1/6 on education

To FiNd :

• how much does he spend on each part

• how much money is left with him

SolutioN :

Raman's earning of 1 month = Rs 9600

He spend 1/4th of his income on food

Now 1/4th of Rs 9600 = Rs 2400

Remaining money = Rs( 9600 - 2400)

= Rs 7200

Now,

1/5th of remaining money if spent on rent =  

1/5 × Rs 7200 = Rs 1440

 

And  

1/6th of remaining money if spent on education=

1/6 × Rs 7200 = Rs 1200

Money left with him =

Rs ( 7200 - 1440 - 1200) = Rs 4560
