Answer 2

Answer:

Sonu spends $25%$% of his expenditure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Monthly earning of Sonu = Rs. $8000$

          Money spent on house rent = Rs. $1200$

          Money spent on food = Rs. $800$

To find : What is the percentage of his expenditure?​

Solution :

• It is given that the monthly earning of Sonu = Rs. $8000$

          Money spent on house rent = Rs. $1200$

          Money spent on food = Rs. $800$

• We have to find the percentage of his expenditure.
• To find the percentage of his expenditure, first we have to calculate total expenditure of Sonu.
•  Total expenditure of Sonu = Money spent on house rent + Money spent on food

                                       = $1200+800$

                                       = Rs. $2000$

• Now, calculate the percentage of his expenditure.

           % Expenditure = $\frac{expenditure}{monthly earning} *100$

                                 = $\frac{2000}{8000} *100$

                                 = $25%$%

• ∴ Sonu spends $25%$% of his expenditure.
