Question 155

If the expenditure on education is 1600 more than that on housing, then the expenditure on food is :

Solution

Let total income = 360$$x$$

Expenditure on education = $$\frac{70}{360} * 360x = 70x$$

Expenditure on housing = $$\frac{54}{360} * 360x = 54x$$

=> Required difference = $$70x - 54x$$ = 1600

=> $$x$$ = 100

Expenditure on food = $$\frac{120}{360} * 360x = 120x$$

=> 120*100 = 12000
