Question

Alfred spend 1/4 of his money on food, 1/3 on clothing and saved the rest. If he saved £72000.00, how much did he spend on food?

Answer 1

We have £72000 in all. The question asks for how much he spent on food. The question also states that he spent
`(1)/(4)` of his money on food. Using this data, we can do

`(1)/(4)*72000=1800`
He spent £1800 on food
