(ii) how much is spent on food.
(u) how much is paid as house rent.
(iv) how much is spent on the education of children.
(v) how much does she save every month.​

Answer 1

Amount deducted for provident fund= 32000-10/100*32000
=32000-3200
= 28800
Money spent on food= 46/100*28800
= 13248 rupees
Money spent on house rent= 20/100*28800
= 5760 rupees
Money spent on education = 14/100*28800
= 4032 rupees
Percentage of money saved every month
=100-(20+14+46+10)
=100-90
=10%
Money saved every month =2880
