James earns £800 a month
He spends1/4 of this money on rent.
James spends 2/5 of the money on food and bills.
How much money has he left?
The answer Is £280
0.25 + 0.4 = 0.65
1.00 - 0.65 = 0.35
0.35 * 800 = ?
0.25+0.4=0.65
1.00-0.65 =0.35
0.35*800,=280
To find out how much money James has left after paying rent and expenses, we need to calculate the amount of money he spends on rent and food/bills, and then subtract that total from his monthly income.
First, let's find out how much James spends on rent:
James spends 1/4 of his monthly income on rent, so we can calculate this by multiplying his monthly income (£800) by 1/4:
Rent = £800 * 1/4 = £200
Next, let's find out how much James spends on food and bills:
James spends 2/5 of his monthly income on food and bills, so we can calculate this by multiplying his monthly income (£800) by 2/5:
Food and bills = £800 * 2/5 = £320
Now that we know the amounts James spends on rent and food/bills, we can find out how much money he has left. We need to subtract the total amount spent on rent and food/bills from his monthly income:
Money left = Monthly income - Rent - Food and bills
Money left = £800 - £200 - £320 = £280
So, James has £280 left after paying rent and expenses.
