Question

Renu's monthly hostel expenses are as shown below:
mess food: Rs 800; toiletries: Rs 300; canteen: Rs 500; petrol: Rs 1,100; stationery: Rs 250.
Her father sends her Rs 3,200 every month. If she doesn't spend on anything else except the above mentioned things, how much amount does she save every month?

Answer 1

Answer:

Renu saves Rs 250 every month

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money spent by Renu = Rs 800 + Rs 300 + Rs 500 + Rs 1100 + Rs 250

                                               = Rs. 2950

Total money sent by her father = Rs 3200

We know that money saved = Money received - Money spent

Therefore, substituting the values,

Money saved = Rs 3200 - Rs. 2950

                       = Rs. 250

Therefore, Renu saves Rs 250 every month
