The monthly income of a man is ₹ 16,000. 15 percent of it is paid as income-tax and 75% of the remainder is spent on rent, food, clothing, etc. How much money is still left with the man ?

Given:

The monthly income of the man = ₹ 16,000

Percent of money the man paid as income tax = 15% of the salary

Remaining percent of money after paying income tax = (100% - 15%) of the salary = 85% of the salary

= $\dfrac{85}{100} \times 16,000$

= $\dfrac{17}{20} \times 16,000$

= $\dfrac{2,72,000}{20}$

= ₹ $13,600$

Percent of money the man spent on rent, food, clothing, etc = 75% of the remaining amount

Left over money = (100% - 75%) of the remaining amount = 25% of the remaining amount.

= $\dfrac{25}{100} \times 13,600$

= $\dfrac{1}{4} \times 13,600$

= $\dfrac{13,600}{4}$

= ₹ $3,400$

Money still left with the man = ₹ 3,400
