Question

Shalini’s salary is 10,000. She spends $\frac{1}{10}$ on house rent and $\frac{1}{20}$ on food. How much money she spend on both?

Answer 1

Shalini’s salary is ₹10000.

Money spent on house rent = $\frac{1}{10}$ of total salary

= $\frac{1}{10}$ ✖ ₹10000

= ₹1000

Money spent on food = $\frac{1}{20}$ of total salary

= $\frac{1}{20}$ ✖ ₹10000

= ₹500

Money spent on both = Money spent on rent + money spent on food

= ₹1000 + ₹500

= ₹1500
