Answer 2

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Dan spends 2/5 of his wages on rent and 1/2 on food. If he makes £540 per week, how much money does he have left?

Answer: The amount of money left with Dan is £54

Explanation:

We are given:

Fraction of amount spent on rent =
`(2)/(5)`

Fraction of amount spent on food =
`(1)/(2)`

Total amount Dan makes in a week = £540

Amount of money spent on rent =
`(2)/(5)* 540=216`

Amount of money spent on food =
`(1)/(2)* 540=270`

Total amount of money spent = £270 + £216 = £486

Money left with Dan = £540 - £486 = £54

Hence, the amount of money left with Dan is £54
