      Solution

      Let the monthly salary of the man be Rs. ‘x’. Money spent on rent and transportation = (21 + 12)% of x = Rs. 0.33x Remaining money = (x – 0.33x) = Rs. 0.67x Money spent on food and entertainment = (26 + 41)% of 0.67x = Rs. 0.4489x Remaining money left = 0.67x – 0.4489x = 0.2211x So, 0.2211x = 3537.6 x = Rs. 16000
