A man earns a salary of 36,000 per month he spends 1/8 of it on rent a quarter of the remainder on school fees and saves the rest how much is spent on rent
To find out how much the man spends on rent, we need to first calculate how much of his salary remains after spending 1/8 on rent.
1/8 of 36,000 is 36,000 / 8 = 4,500.
So, after spending 1/8 on rent, the man has 36,000 - 4,500 = 31,500 remaining.
Next, we need to calculate a quarter of this remainder to find out how much he spends on school fees.
A quarter of 31,500 is 31,500 / 4 = 7,875.
Therefore, the man spends 4,500 on rent and 7,875 on school fees.
