Question 1 Report

A man earns ₦3,500 per month out of which he spends 15% on his children's education. If he spends additional ₦1,950 on food, how much does he have left?
Answer Details
The man earns ₦3,500 per month and spends 15% of it on his children's education. We can calculate the amount he spends on his children's education as: 15% of ₦3,500 = (15/100) x ₦3,500 = ₦525 So, his total expenses on education and food are: ₦525 + ₦1,950 = ₦2,475 Subtracting his total expenses from his monthly income, we get his savings: ₦3,500 - ₦2,475 = ₦1,025 Therefore, the man has ₦1,025 left after spending on his children's education and food. Hence, the answer to the question is ₦1,025.
