To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the amount used for school fees.
Fupi used 0.2 (which is the same as 20%) of his salary for school fees. Assuming the salary is Sh 32,800 per month, we can calculate the amount used for school fees using the formula:
Amount used for school fees = 0.2 * Salary
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Amount used for school fees = 0.2 * 32,800
Amount used for school fees = 6,560
Therefore, an amount of Sh 6,560 was used for school fees.
Step 2: Calculate the remaining amount after paying school fees.
To find the remaining amount, we subtract the amount used for school fees from the salary.
Remaining amount = Salary - Amount used for school fees
Remaining amount = 32,800 - 6,560
Remaining amount = 26,240
Therefore, the remaining amount after paying school fees is Sh 26,240.
Step 3: Determine the amount deposited at the bank.
Fupi deposited a quarter (or 25%) of the remaining amount into the bank. We can calculate this using the formula:
Amount deposited = 0.25 * Remaining amount
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Amount deposited = 0.25 * 26,240
Amount deposited = 6,560
Therefore, Fupi deposited Sh 6,560 at the bank.
Step 4: Calculate the amount used for other expenses.
To find the amount used for other expenses, we subtract the amount deposited at the bank from the remaining amount.
Amount used for other expenses = Remaining amount - Amount deposited
Amount used for other expenses = 26,240 - 6,560
Amount used for other expenses = 19,680
Therefore, an amount of Sh 19,680 was used for other expenses.
In conclusion, Fupi used Sh 19,680 for other expenses.
