If his income is x
amount spent on food --- 3/5 x, leaving him with 2/5 x
amount spent on school ---- (1/4)(2x/5) = x/10
x - x/10 - 3x/5 = 180000
3x/10 = 180000
x = 600000
check:
spent on food = (3/5)(600000) = 360000
leaving him 240000
spends 1/4 of that or 60000 leaving him with 180000
my answer is correct
