[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find out how much the man spends on rent, we need to first calculate how much of his salary remains after spending 1/8 on rent.

1/8 of 36,000 is 36,000 / 8 = 4,500.

So, after spending 1/8 on rent, the man has 36,000 - 4,500 = 31,500 remaining.

Next, we need to calculate a quarter of this remainder to find out how much he spends on school fees.

A quarter of 31,500 is 31,500 / 4 = 7,875.

Therefore, the man spends 4,500 on rent and 7,875 on school fees.
