Mr john spends 1/4 of his monthly salary on the repayment of a housing loan.of the remainder he spends 1/5 on food and the pub bill,and puts aside 1/10 for transport costs .this leaves him with $630 a month.what is his monthly salary?plz show the steps

Answer 1

let his salary be $ x

after spending 1/4 on housing loan he has
3x/4 left
of that he spends 1/5 on food, leaving his with
(4/5)(3x/4) = 12x/20

Now your next statement is not clear, does he spend 10% of his remaining salary, or 10% of the original ?

continuing the process based on the remaining...

after spending 10% or 1/10 on transportation cost
the leaves him with (9/10)((12x/20) which is 630

108x/200 = 630
x = 630(200/108) = $ 1166.67

check:
spends 1/4 on loans
leaves him with $875
spends 1/5 of that on food and pubs (should stay out of the pub, he can't afford it)
leaves him with : $700
spends 1/10 of that on transportation, leaving him with
.9(700) = $630
