Question
A person spends 8% of his income on health and 35% of
the remaining income on groceries. If the amount spent on health is Rs. 3,200, then find the amount spent on groceries.Solution
Let the income of the person be Rs. x.
Amount spent on health = 0.08x = Rs. 3,200
Total income = 3,200 ÷ 0.08 = Rs. 40,000
Amount spent on groceries = 0.35 × (0.92x) = 0.322x = 40,000 × 0.322 = Rs. 12,880
