Jenny gave 1/6 of her salary to her mother and saved 2/5 of her remaining salary. what fraction of her total salary was saved
2/5 of what was left after giving 1/6 to her mother means
2/5 of (1-1/6) of her salary.
Working it out:
2/5 × (6/6-1/6)
=2/5 × (5/6)
=2/6
=1/3
Jenny gets a salary increment of 20%. She gives 1 5 of her new salary to her mother and spends another 40%. If she has RM600 left,what is her original salary?
To find the fraction of Jenny's total salary that was saved, we need to determine the fraction of her salary that remained after giving 1/6 to her mother.
Let's start by calculating the fraction of Jenny's salary that remained after giving 1/6 to her mother:
Remaining fraction = 1 - 1/6 = 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6
Next, Jenny saved 2/5 of her remaining salary. To find the fraction of her total salary saved, we multiply the remaining fraction by the saving fraction:
Saving fraction = (5/6) * (2/5) = 10/30 = 1/3
Therefore, Jenny saved 1/3 of her total salary.
To find the fraction of Jenny's total salary that was saved, we can start by assuming her total salary to be 1.
First, we calculate the fraction of her salary that she gave to her mother: 1/6.
This means out of her total salary of 1, she gave 1/6 to her mother. So the remaining fraction of her salary is 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.
Next, we need to find the fraction of her remaining salary that she saved: 2/5.
Since the remaining fraction of her salary is 5/6, the fraction she saved is (5/6) * (2/5) = 10/30 = 1/3.
Therefore, she saved 1/3 of her total salary.
