Question

If ajay spent 1/9 of his pocket money of Rs.450 on chocolates and 2/5 on fruits. How much money is left with him?

Answer 1

First, find 1/9th of 450. That's 50, because 450/9. So, you spent 50 on chocolate, meaning you now have 400.

You spent 2/5ths on chocolate. Let's divide 400 by 5 to find 1/5 - that's 80 - then multiply that by 2 to get 2/5 - that's 160.

So, you spent 50 on chocolate, and 160 on fruit. Add these together, to get 210. That's how much you spent altogether.

450 (total initial money) - 210 (total spent money) = 240 (money remaining).

Answer 2

I read it as meaning that 2/5 of the original amount was spent on fruits, giving:

50 on chocolate
180 on fruit

then subtract all that from the original 450.
