Question

The monthly income of Shaji’s family is Rs. 8,000. The amounts they spent on various things are given below as percent.

Answer 1

Monthly income of Shaji’s family = Rs 8000

Percentage of amount spent on food = 35%

Percentage of amount spent on clothing, entertainment, education and health = 20%

Percentage of amount spent on repayment of home loan = 20%

Percentage of amount spent on other expenses = 15%

Total percentage of amount spent = 35% + 20% + 20% + 15%

= 90%

Percentage of amount saved = (100 − 90)% = 10%

Percentage of amount spent on food = 35%

Amount spent on food = 35% of Rs 8000

Percentage of amount spent on clothing, entertainment, education and health = 20%

Amount spent on clothing, entertainment, education and health = 20% of Rs 8000

Percentage of amount spent on repayment of home loan = 20%

Amount spent on repayment of home loan = 20% of Rs 8000

Percentage of amount spent on other expenses = 15%

Amount spent on other expenses = 15% of Rs 8000

Percentage of amount saved = (100 − 90)% = 10%

Amount saved = 10% of Rs 8000
