Answer:
*2520
Step-by-step explanation:
A quarter of him income was spent on food
X (representing his income) - x/4= 3x/4
Then 2/3 was spent on house rent. Notice the, the question didnt say 2/3 of his income. Therefore it would be 2/3 of what is remaining after he pays for food.
2/3 * 3x/4= x/2
3x/4-x/2=x/4.
The remaining after all expenses are paid is 630. So:
x/4=630
x=630*4
x=2520
1/4 + 2/3 + 1/12 = 1
That is fraction on
Food + house rent + other items = Total amount
If 1/12 = 630.............. equation 1
Then 1/4 + 2/3 = 11/12
11/12= x................. equation 2
Cross multiply equation 1 & 2
1/12*x = 1155/2
To find x, cross multiply again
2x = 13860
x = 13860/2
x = 6930
This means that 11/12 + 1/12 = 6930 + 630
= 7560
Therefore 2/3(fraction for house rent)*7560(total amount)=5040
Answer is 5040
