Answer:
spend = 2,125
savings = 375
Step-by-step explanation:
8/20+7/20+2/20 = 17/20
20/20 - 17/20 = 3/20
3/20 = 375
17/20 = 2,125
Answer:
He spends P1,000 on his food.
He spends P250 on buying school supplies.
He keeps P875 for transportation.
And,
He saves P375.
Step-by-step explanation:
Food: 2,500 x 2/5 = 1,000
School supplies: 2,500 x 1/10 = 250
Transportation: 2,500 x 7/20 = 875
In order to know how much he saves, add all his expenses and subtract the sum of it to his allowance.
So,
1,000 + 250 + 875 = 2,125
2,500 - 2,125 = 375
