X - (X/8+X/8+X/2)

X- (6X/8)

X-6X/8=2X/8=1/4

he saves 1/4of his income

Answer 2

Let the total income of ramesh be 1.

total fraction of income which he spends=

$> \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{2} \\ > \frac{1 + 1 + 4}{8} \\ > \frac{6}{8} \\ > \frac{3}{4}$

Therefore, fraction of income which he saves=

$> 1 - \frac{3}{4} \\ > \frac{4 - 3}{4} \\ > \frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, fraction of income which he saves = 1/4.
