Question

You have saved £25 in your bank. What fraction of your savings have you spent on each item.

Chocolate - £1
Cinema Tkt - £5
Mobile TopUp - £10
Pizza - £6

Answer 1

we can solve this problem by trial and error method

we are given costs of each items

Chocolate - £1

Cinema Tkt - £5

Mobile TopUp - £10

Pizza - £6

Let's assume we take each one item

chocolate+cinema ticket +mobile top up+pizza $=1+5+10+6=22$

and we have total £25

so, remaining sum $=25-22=3$

so, with this money , we can only buy chocolate

so, number of chocolate is 4

number of cinema ticket is 1

number of mobile top up is 1

number of pizza is 1

now, we can find fraction of money spent on each from savings

so, we

spent money on Chocolate =1*4=£4

money spent on cinema ticket is £5

money spent on Mobile Top Up is £10

money spent on Pizza is £6
