Fupi used 0.2 of his salary,sh 32,800 per month for school fees,quarter of the remained amount,he deposited at the bank and the rest amount used for other expenses.How much were used for other expenses?******************To my side,i solved like this tell me whether i am correct or not........................
0.2 of his salary is for school fees in which the school fees = 32,800.let the salary be y then,
0.2 × y=32,800 which gives the value of y as the salary =164,000.Quarter of the remained he put in the bank so
164,000 – 32800=131,200 as the remained amount in which quarter of this amount=32,800.
Remained amount = 131,200 – 32,800=98,400 that can be his expenses
So I am asking is this approach correct……….. @MR REINY
32,800 - 0.2*32,800 = 26,240/mo. Remaining.
Bank = 0.25 * 26,240 = 6,560/mo.
Other Expenses = 0.75 * 26,240 = 19,680/mo.
