Question

Out of a salary of Rs 13,500, Manoj kept 1/3 as savings. Of the remaining money, he spent 50% on food and 20% on house rent. How much does Manoj spend on food and house rent?

• A. $6300$
• B. $9000$
• C. $1800$
• D. $4500$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $6300$

Manoj total salary = Rs 13500 One-third of the salary for saving = 1/3 × Rs 13500 = Rs 4500 Remaining money = Rs 13500 – Rs 4500 = Rs 9000 Amount spent on food = 50% = 50/100 × 9000 = 50 × 90 = 4500 Amount spent on house rent = 20% = 20/100 × 9000 = 20 × 90 = Rs 1800 Hence, total amount spent on both food and house rent = Rs 4500 + Rs 1800 = Rs 6300 Therefore, total amount spent on food and house rent is Rs 6300
