Question

Brian spends
1/4
of his wages on rent and
1/8
on food. If he makes £168 per week, how much money does he have left?

Answer 1

Brian have £105 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount earned by Brian per week = £168

Fraction spent on rent = $\frac{1}{4}$

Amount spent on rent = $\frac{1}{4}*168$

Amount spent on rent = £42

Fraction spent on food = $\frac{1}{8}$

Amount spent on food = $\frac{1}{8}*168$

Amount spent on food = £21

Amount left = Amount earned - amount spent on rent - amount spent on food

Amount left = $168-42-21$

Amount left = £105

Brian have £105 left.
