Question

the monthly income of a man is rupees 16000 15 % of it is paid as income tax and 75 % of the remainder is spent on rent food clothing etc how much money is still left with him

Answer 1

it will be rupees 1600 as 15 plus 75 is 90.so 10 percent is remained of 1600.so we will divide 1600 by 10

Answer 2

Monthly income = rs 16000

Expenditure = 15% = 15% of 16000=15/100*16000=rs 2400

Money left = rs 16000- 2400 = rs 13600

Expenditure = 75 % = 75% of remainder = 75/100*13600= rs 10200

∴Monet left = 13600 - 10200 = rs 3400(answer)
