Question

A man spent one-fourth of his salary on food and one-half of the remainder on clothing. If his salary is 120000, how much did he spend on clothing​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: If his salary is $120,000 and 1/4 is used on food he has a remaining of $80,000. He uses 1/2 on clothing so he has a remainder of $40,000 so now we know that he used $40,000 on clothing

Answer: $40,000

Hope this helps you! :D

Answer 2

salary=120000

1/4×120000=30000= money spent

remainder=120000- 30000

= 90000

money spent on clothing =1/2×90000

=45000
