mr. kebu spends 1/8 of his monthly salary in school fees and a third of the remainder on rent. he spends 3/4 of what remained after paying school fees and rent on food. if he remains with 1470 calculate his monthly salary
Answered by R_scott
1470 = [s - (s / 8) - (7s / 24)] / 4

solve for s (salary)
Answered by henry2,
Monthly salary = $X.
x - x/8 = $7x/8 = Bal. after school fees.

7x/8 - 1/3(7x/8) = 7x/8 - 7x/24 = 21x/24 - 7x/24 = 14x/24 = $7x/12 = Bal. after school fees and rent.

7x/12 = 1470.
X = ?
