in a month. If she saves Rs 2500 in a month, find her monthly income and
expenditures on each item.​

Answer 1

Answer: Monthly income = $5000

Food = $1500

Rent = $750

Other = $250

Explanation:

Food = 30%

Rent = 15%

Other = 5%

Total = 50%

50% of Monthly Income(m) equals $2500

↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓

0.5 x m = 2500

0.5m = 2500

÷0.5 ÷0.5

m = 5000

Food = 30% → 0.3(5000) = 1500

Rent = 15% → 0.15(5000) = 750

Other = 5% → 0.05(5000) = 250

Total = 2500

Answer 2

Mothly income 5000 R

Food expenses 1500 R

Rent expenses 750 R

Other items 250 R

Explanation:

She spends 30% of her income on food, 15% on rent and 5% on other items and saves 2500

30% + 15% + 5% = 50% that means half of her income is spent and the 2500 she saves is half of her income

Anita has 5000 monthly income she spents 30% of it on food which is equal to 1500

She pays 15% of her income for rent which is equal to 750 and 5% for other stuff which is equal to 250
