Final answer:

To find the remaining income of a man who spends 33% on housing and another 33% on education, we subtract the total percentage spent (66%) from the total income (100%), leaving 34% of his income remaining.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of a man's income remaining after spending 0.33 on housing loan and 0.33 on education each month, we need to consider the total parts of the income he spends on these two items.

To begin, we calculate the total percentage of income spent on housing and education: 0.33 (for housing) + 0.33 (for education) = 0.66 or 66% of his income. Next, to find the remaining income, we subtract this from the whole, which is logically 100%.

Therefore, the remaining percentage of income is: 100% - 66% = 34%. This means the man has 34% of his income left after these two expenditures.
