Question

A man is paid $1500 salary. He spends 20% of the salary for his kids education, 35% for food, 15% for miscellaneous and he saves the rest. How much money does he save?​

Answer 1

Answer:

450

Step-by-step explanation:

The total is 100 %

20% + 35% +15% = 70%

100-70 = 30

He saves 30%

1500 * 30%

1500 *.30

450

Answer 2

G I V E N :

A man is paid $1500 salary. He spends 20% of the salary for his kids education, 35% for food, 15% for miscellaneous and he saves the rest. How much money does he save?

S O L U T I O N :

Total Income = $ 1500

According to the question,

He spends 20% to his kids education

He spends 35% for food

He spends 15% for miscellaneous

Out of total income he spends 20% on kids education

So, amount spent on kids education = 20% of $1500

Amount = 20/100 × $1500

Amount = $300

Hence, money spent on his kids education is $300

35% is spent on food

Money spent on food = 35% of $1500

Money spent = 35/100 × $1500

Money spent = $525

Hence, money spent on food is $525

15% is spent on miscellaneous

Money spent on miscellaneous = 15% of $1500

Money spent = 15/100 × $1500

Money spent = $225

Hence, money spent on miscellaneous is $225

Now, adding all the three we get

$300 + $525 + $225

$825 + $225

$1050

Total money spent = $1050

Remaining money = $1500 - $1050 = $450

• Remaining amount left with him is $450
