Question

Saleem's salary is Rs. 12000. he gave 1/12th of his salary as alms, half of the remaining for house expenditures and 2/5th of the remaining as debt that was due upon his. what is the remaining salary with him?

Answer 1

Answer:

he spend in alms = 1/2 × 12000

= 6000

2/5 on his remaining salary = 2/5 × 6000

= 1200

remaining salary = 1200

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Salary of Saleem = Rs. 12000

Part of the salary given as alms = 1/12

Money given as alms = 1/12 × 12000 = Rs.1000

Remaining money = 12000 - 1000

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$ = Rs.11000

½ of the remaining money, is spent on house expenditure

Money spent on expenditure = ½ × 11000 = Rs.5500

Remaining money = 11000 - 5500

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:\:$ = Rs.5500

2/5th of the remaining, is spent as debt

Money spent as debt = 2/5 × 5500 = Rs.2200

Remaining money = 5500 - 2200

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:\: \:$= Rs.3300

∴ Remaining salary with him = Rs.3300
