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
Your approach is partially correct, but let me guide you through the correct method:
1. The given problem states that Fupi used 0.2 (or 20%) of his salary for school fees, which is Sh 32,800 per month.
2. Let's assume Fupi's salary is 'x', so the equation becomes 0.2x = 32,800.
3. To find the value of 'x', we need to solve the equation. Divide both sides by 0.2:
(0.2x) / 0.2 = 32,800 / 0.2
x = 32,800 / 0.2
x = 164,000.
4. So, Fupi's salary is Sh 164,000 per month.
5. Now, we need to find the amount that Fupi deposited in the bank. The problem states that he deposited one-quarter (or 25%) of the remaining amount in the bank.
6. The remaining amount after paying the school fees is: 164,000 - 32,800 = 131,200.
7. To find the amount deposited in the bank, multiply the remaining amount by 0.25 (or divide it by 4):
131,200 * 0.25 = 32,800.
8. So, Fupi deposited Sh 32,800 in the bank.
9. Now, to find the amount used for other expenses, subtract the amount deposited in the bank from the remaining amount:
131,200 - 32,800 = 98,400.
10. Therefore, Sh 98,400 were used for other expenses.
I hope this clarifies the solution method to you!
