Answer: 62.13%

Explanation:

Given , Salary of Mr. Palahniuk = $1190

Percentage of Salary he spent on groceries = 24%=0.24

Amount he deposited in his saving funds = $165

Amount he spent on groceries = (Percentage of Salary he spent on groceries) x (Salary )

= (0.24) (1190)

= $ 285.6‬

Now , Money left = (Salary) - [(Amount he deposited in his saving funds)+(Amount he spent on groceries)]

= $1190-[$285.6‬+$165]

= $1190 - $450.6

=$739.4

Percentage of his salary is left = (Money left )÷ (Salary) x 100

= (739.4) ÷(1190) x 100

≈62.13%

Hence, the percentage of his salary is left = 62.13%
