In making a budget, a person should spend about one-third of his or her salary on

rent or housing, should put about one-tenth into a savings account, and should
plan to have about one-third taken out in taxes. What fraction of a person’s salary
is then left for everything else?

Lets see

  • One-third on rent
  • One tenth on savings
  • One third for taxes

Left:-

  • 1-(1/3+1/10+1/3)
  • 1-(20+20+3/30)
  • 1-43/30
  • 30-43/10
  • -13/10

Not left anything
