Question

Rita had Rs 300. She spent $\frac{1}{3}$ of her money on notebooks and $\frac{1}{4}$ of the remainder on stationery items. How much money is left with her ?

Answer 1

Total amount, Rita has = Rs 300

Amount spent on notebooks = $\frac{1}{3}$ of Rs 300

= $Rs\frac{300}{3}=Rs100$

Balance = Rs 300 - Rs 100 = Rs 200

Amount spent on stationery = $\frac{1}{4}$ of Rs 200

= Rs $200\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{200}{4}$

= Rs 50

Amount left at the end = Rs 200 - Rs 50

= Rs 150 Ans.
