Question

Mr Krishnan earned 2,400 rupees ,he spent 3/8 on food ,1/3 on taxes and 1/6 on other expenses. Find out how much all this in rupees and then find out how much he saved

Answer 1

Explanation:

to find his total expenses, add all fraction spent

3/8 + 1/3 + 1/6

= 9+8+ 4/24

= 21/24. = 7/8

total fraction =1

subtract the fraction spent form the total fraction to know the fraction left for savings

1-7/8= 1/8

therefore if. 1 = 2,400

then 1/8=?

if less more divides

1/8 ÷ 1 ×2,400

1/8 × 1/1×2,400

1/8 × 2,400

=300.

therefore the man saved 300 rupees
