Question

Shipla spent 8% on school fees .25% on rent and 17%on furniture. 25% of the remaining amount was spent on medical bills and the remaining 6000 was set aside for investment. how much money does she spend on rent?

Answer 1

Total spending on school fee, rental and furniture = 8% + 25% + 17% = 50%

Remaining = 100 - 50 = 50%

.

Spending on medical = 25% of 50% = 0.25 x 50 = 12.5%

Remaining = 50 - 12.5 = 37.5%

.

Remaining = 37.5%

Remaining =6000 (given)

37.5% = 6000

.

Find 1%:

1% = 6000 ÷ 37.5 = 160

.

Find rent:

1% = 160

25% = 4000

.

Answer : (C) The rent is 4000
