monthly income.

Question

Raman spends 2/5 of his monthly income on food and 3/8 of the remaining on clothes. Find (a) What fraction of his income is left with him. (b) If the money left is ₹2400, find monthly income.

Answer 1

If he spends 2/5, he has 3/5 left. He also has 5/8 left.

 

(3/5)(5/8) = 3/8 left

 

(3/8)m = 2400

(8/3)(3/8)m = (8/3)2400

m = 6400
