Question

Ali spends 30% monthly income on food articles, 40% of the remaining on conveyance and clothes and saves 50% of the remaining. If his monthly salary is Rs. 18400, how much money does he saves every month.?

Answer 1

Ali saves Rs 2576 every month

Step-by-step explanation:

• Step 1: Given Ali's monthly salary = Rs 18400. Calculate the amount spent on food articles

Amount spent on food = 30% of 18400 = 30/100 × 18400 = Rs 5520

• Step 2: Find the remaining amount.

Remaining amount = 18400 - 5520 = Rs 12880

• Step 3: Find amount spend on conveyance and clothes

Amount spent on conveyance and clothes = 40% of 12880

                              = 40/100 × 12880 = Rs 5152

• Step 4: Find his monthly savings.

Monthly savings = 50% of 5152 = 50/100 × 5152 = Rs 2576

Answer 2

Answer:

Ali saves Rs. 3864 a month

Step-by-step explanation:

Food:

30% of Rs. 18400 = Rs. 5520

Rs. 18400 - Rs. 5520 = Rs. 12880

Conveyance and clothes:

40% of Rs. 12880 = Rs. 5152

Rs. 12880 - Rs. 5152 = 7728

Saved:

50% of Rs. 7728 = Rs. 3864

Rs. 7728 - Rs. 3864 = Rs. 3864
