Patrick spent 2/3 of his salary on food, 1/3 of the remainder on electricity and saved the rest. What fraction of his salary did he save? If he spent Sh. 1200 on food, how much did he spend on electricity?

Explanation:

food= 2/3 = sh.1200

electricity= 1/3 of R

saved = 3/3-1/3 = 2/3 of R

electricity = 1/3 of 1/3 = 1/9

sh.1200= 2/3 ( find 1/9)

1/9×1200÷2/3 = 800/9

sh.88.8
