Question

A man earns 12,000 per year, 10% of it was spent on transport while 5% of the salary went as tax. He spent 80% of the remainder on food. How much has he left.​

Answer 1

Amount left = 2040

Explanation:

Given that:

Per year salary = 12,000

Amount spent on transport = 10%

Transport =
`(10)/(100)*12000` = 0.1 * 12000

Transport = 1200

Tax = 5%

Tax = 0.05 * 12000

Tax = 600

Total = 1200 + 600 = 1800

Amount left = 12000 - 1800 = 10200

Food = 80% of remainder

Food = 0.8 * 10200

Food = 8160

Amount left after food = 10200 - 8160 = 2040

Hence,

Amount left = 2040
