You must try to remove one of the unknown variables from the system by multiplying one in a way that when adding (or subtracting) one to another “makes it disappear” and so whatever value you get can be substituted back in to get the other unknown!
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:
See below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
You work in fractions of the city streets done per hour:
1/200 + 1/400 = 1 /x where x is the number of hours taken by 2 teams.
Multiply through by the LCM 400x:
2x + x = 400
3x = 400
x = 133.33 hours.
As there are 168 hours in a week they will have enough time.
