Question

smita working as a labourer, earns Rs 150 per day . Out of these she refunds 63 3/5 on lunch and tea. Rs 27 1/2 on her children. How much does she saves every day?

Answer 1

Answer:

559/10 or say 55.9 Rs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check the hints given in the question:

Smita earns per day: 150 Rs

Refunds on lunch and tea: 63 3/5

Spends on her children: 27 1/2

Now changing these mixed fraction numbers into a simple fraction, we get:

Money refunded on lunch and tea: 318/5

Money spent on her children: 55/2

Now adding these two amounts, we will get the exact amount spent by Smita on daily basis:

318/5 + 55/2

Taking the L.C.M.

(636+305)/10

= 941/10

Now, to calculate the money saved everyday:

Subtracting the money spent from the money earned:

150/1 - 941/10

Taking the L.C.M.

(1500-941)/10

= 559/10

OR

55.9 Rs.
