To find the portion of the man's salary that he saves, we can start by adding the fractions of his salary that he spends on food and utility bills:
- Portion spent on food: 0.3
- Portion spent on utility bills: 0.25
Now, add these two portions together:
\[
0.3 + 0.25 = 0.55
\]
This means he spends 55% of his salary on food and utility bills. To find out how much of his salary he saves, we can subtract this total from 1 (which represents his entire salary):
\[
1 - 0.55 = 0.45
\]
Thus, the portion of his salary that he saves is **0.45** or **45%**.
- Portion spent on food: 0.3
- Portion spent on utility bills: 0.25
Now, add these two portions together:
\[
0.3 + 0.25 = 0.55
\]
This means he spends 55% of his salary on food and utility bills. To find out how much of his salary he saves, we can subtract this total from 1 (which represents his entire salary):
\[
1 - 0.55 = 0.45
\]
Thus, the portion of his salary that he saves is **0.45** or **45%**.
