Answers
Answer:
(a) let the total amount of money be x
1/5 of x =x/5 for dairy products
2/5 of x = 2x/5 for grocery
1/2 of 2/5 x = x/5 for grains
1/5 of x = x/5 for grains
x- ( x/5 + 2x/5 + x/5 ) = 2000 for clothes
x - ( 4x/5 ) = 2000
x/5 = 2000
x = 2000*5
= Rs 10,000 (answer )
(b) x/5 for grains = 10000/ 5
= Rs 2000 (answer )
if the answer is useful pls mark as brainliest ......plllllssss
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) let the total amount of money be x
1/5 of x =x/5 for dairy products
2/5 of x = 2x/5 for grocery
1/2 of 2/5 x = x/5 for grains
1/5 of x = x/5 for grains
x- ( x/5 + 2x/5 + x/5 ) = 2000 for clothes
x - ( 4x/5 ) = 2000
x/5 = 2000
x = 2000*5
= Rs 10,000 (answer )
(b) x/5 for grains = 10000/ 5
= Rs 2000 (answer )(a) let the total amount of money be x
1/5 of x =x/5 for dairy products
2/5 of x = 2x/5 for grocery
1/2 of 2/5 x = x/5 for grains
1/5 of x = x/5 for grains
x- ( x/5 + 2x/5 + x/5 ) = 2000 for clothes
x - ( 4x/5 ) = 2000
x/5 = 2000
x = 2000*5
= Rs 10,000 (answer )
(b) x/5 for grains = 10000/ 5
= Rs 2000 (answer )
