Fupi used 0.2 of his salary,sh 32,800 per month for school fees,quarter of the remained amount,he deposited at the bank and the rest amount used for other expenses.How much were used for other expenses?please anyone one to help me with the solution

Answer 1

Hard to understand your typing.

I assume the monthly salary is 32,000 and he used .2 of that for school fees, so
he used 6400 for school fees, leaving him with
25,600
he used 1/4 of that to deposit, or
he deposited 6400, leaving him with
19,200 for other expenses.

Answer 2

may i assume 32,800 as the school fees that can be correct mr.Reiny?

Answer 3

Hey, it is your question, you typed it.
I expressed my confusion of your typing.

If 32800 are the school expenses, then we don't know his salary, let it be x

after school expenses he has x - 32800
after spending 1/4 of that in savings
he will be left with
(3/4)(x-32000) or other expenses.

unless we know what his salary is, that is where it ends.

Answer 4

To my side,i solved like this tell me whether i am correct or not........................
0.2 of his salary is for school fees in which the school fees = 32,800.let the salary be y then,
0.2 × y=32,800 which gives the value of y as the salary =164,000.Quarter of the remained he put in the bank so
164,000 – 32800=131,200 as the remained amount in which quarter of this amount=32,800.
Remained amount = 131,200 – 32,800=98,400 that can be his expenses
So I am asking is this approach correct………..
