Answer 2

Answer:

Steward's yearly salary is Rs.624000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his monthly salary be x

Now we are given that Steward assigns 1/8th of his monthly salary on food.

Steward spent on food monthly = $\frac{1}{8}x$

We are also given that steward's total food bill for the month is rs. 6500

So,  $\frac{1}{8}x=6500$

$x=6500 \times 8$

$x=52000$

Steward's monthly salary = 52000

Steward's yearly salary = $52000 \times 12 =624000$

Hence Steward's yearly salary is Rs.624000
