He spent 20% of his wages on food.
He spent 0.15 of his wages on clothes
Work out the fraction of his wages that he had left.

Answer:

  • 2x/5 wages is remaining.

Step 1: Lets say 'x' is the total wage. Then we subtract 1/4 from the total wages.

=> 4x/4 - x/4

=> 3x/4 = Remaining Wages Left.

Step 2: Subtract 20% from 3x/4.

3x/4 - x/5 = Remaining Wages Left.                                 [20% = 20x/100 = x/5]

=> 11x/20 = Remaining Wages Left.

Step 3: Subtract 0.15x from his remaining wages left.

=> 11x/20 - 3x/20 = Remaining Wages Left.                     [0.15 = 15/100 = 3/20]

=> 8x/20 = Remaining Wages Left.

Step 4: Simplify

8x/20 = 2x/5 = 0.40x

=> Simon has saved 2x/5 of the wages.
