a man Spencer B of a salary of food and 2/5 of the remainder on clothes what is the function of his salary is left
A man spent 5/8 of his salary on food
and 2/5 of the remainder on clothes. The function of his salary left is (1 - 5/8 - 2/5) x salary = 3/40 x salary.
1 - 5/8 = 8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8 left after food
3/8 * (1-2/5) = 3/8 * 3/5 = 9/40 left after clothes
I am getting pretty irritated by "answered".
To find out how much of his salary is left after spending a certain portion on food and another portion on clothes, we will need to use the given information.
Let's break down the problem step by step and use x to represent the man's salary.
1. The man spent 5/8 of his salary on food, which means he has (1 - 5/8) or 3/8 of his salary left.
2. According to the additional information, the man then spent 2/5 of the remaining amount on clothes. This means he spent (2/5) * (3/8) of his salary on clothes.
To find the final amount of his salary left, we need to subtract the amount spent on clothes from the remaining amount after spending on food.
Subtracting the amount spent on clothes from the remaining amount after spending on food:
(3/8) - (2/5) * (3/8)
To simplify this expression, we need to find a common denominator for 8 and 5, which is 40.
(3/8) - (2/5) * (3/8) = (15/40) - (6/40)
Now, we can subtract the fractions:
(15/40) - (6/40) = 9/40
Therefore, the function of his salary that is left is 9/40.
