Question

A man earns Rs. $25440$ per month. He spends $\frac{1}{4}$ of it on house rent, $\frac{3}{8}$ on food and clothes, $\frac{1}{10}$ on insurance and $\frac{1}{5}$ on other items. The rest he saves. How much does he save each month ? Solve by using pie graph.

Answer 1

Rent $=\frac{1}{4}\times 25440=6360\Rightarrow \frac{6360}{25440}\times 360={90}^{\circ }$

Food and cloth $=\frac{3}{8}\times 25440=9540\Rightarrow \frac{9540}{25440}\times 360={135}^{\circ }$

Insurance $=\frac{1}{10}\times 25440=2544\Rightarrow \frac{2544}{25440}\times 360={36}^{\circ }$

Other items $=\frac{1}{5}\times 25440=5088\Rightarrow \frac{5088}{25440}\times 360={72}^{\circ }$

Savings $=25440-(6360+9540+2544+5088)=1908\Rightarrow \frac{1908}{25440}\times 360={27}^{\circ }$

He saves Rs.$1908$ each month.
