Ramon salary is php 2400 a week.he spend 1/4 of his salary for food,1/3 for other needs and saves the rest.how muxh does he save in a week?
1/4+1/3 = 3/12+4/12 = 7/12 spent.
1-7/12 = 12/12-7/12 = 5/12 remains.
5/12 * 2400 = ___ saved.
To determine how much Ramon saves in a week, we need to calculate the portion of his salary that remains after deducting his expenses.
First, let's calculate the amount Ramon spends on food. Given that he spends 1/4 of his salary on food, we can find this by multiplying 1/4 by his salary:
Amount spent on food = (1/4) * PHP 2400 = PHP 600
Next, let's calculate the amount Ramon spends on other needs. Given that he spends 1/3 of his salary on other needs, we can find this by multiplying 1/3 by his salary:
Amount spent on other needs = (1/3) * PHP 2400 = PHP 800
Now, let's find out how much Ramon saves in a week. We need to deduct the amount spent on food and other needs from his salary:
Amount saved = Salary - (Amount spent on food + Amount spent on other needs)
= PHP 2400 - (PHP 600 + PHP 800)
= PHP 1000
Therefore, Ramon saves PHP 1000 in a week.
