Henry's wage is £450 per week.

He spends 2/5 of his wage on food.
30% goes on the household bills and the rest is saved.
How much does Henry save each week?

Answer 1

He saves £135 each week

Explanation:

He spends 2/5 of his wage on food

2/5x450=£180

He spends 180£ on food each week

30% of 450 is 135 which he spends on house holdbills. thus, he pays £135 on bills

so his total expenditure is 135+180= £315

he saves the rest which is £135.

thus, your answer is £135
