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?please anyone one to help me with the solution
Hard to understand your typing.
I assume the monthly salary is 32,000 and he used .2 of that for school fees, so
he used 6400 for school fees, leaving him with
25,600
he used 1/4 of that to deposit, or
he deposited 6400, leaving him with
19,200 for other expenses.
may i assume 32,800 as the school fees that can be correct mr.Reiny?
Hey, it is your question, you typed it.
I expressed my confusion of your typing.
If 32800 are the school expenses, then we don't know his salary, let it be x
after school expenses he has x - 32800
after spending 1/4 of that in savings
he will be left with
(3/4)(x-32000) or other expenses.
unless we know what his salary is, that is where it ends.
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………..
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount Fupi used for school fees.
Given that Fupi used 0.2 (or 1/5) of his salary for school fees and his salary is 32,800 shillings per month, we can calculate the amount used for school fees as follows:
Amount used for school fees = 0.2 * 32,800 shillings
Step 2: Calculate the amount remaining after school fees.
After paying the school fees, we need to find the remaining amount of Fupi's salary.
Remaining amount = Salary - Amount used for school fees
Step 3: Calculate the amount deposited at the bank (1/4 of the remaining amount).
To determine the amount deposited at the bank, we need to calculate 1/4 of the remaining amount.
Step 4: Calculate the amount used for other expenses.
Finally, to find the amount used for other expenses, we subtract the amount deposited at the bank from the remaining amount.
Let's calculate the amount used for other expenses:
Step 1: Amount used for school fees = 0.2 * 32,800 = 6,560 shillings
Step 2: Remaining amount = 32,800 - 6,560 = 26,240 shillings
Step 3: Amount deposited at the bank = 1/4 * 26,240 = 6,560 shillings
Step 4: Amount used for other expenses = Remaining amount - Amount deposited at the bank = 26,240 - 6,560 = 19,680 shillings
Therefore, 19,680 shillings were used for other expenses.
