Question

A man earns $3500 per month and spends 65 % of it. How much money does he save every month?

  1. 25    
  2. 50    
  3. 10    
  4. 4    

hintHint:

We use the formula-- Percent × Whole = Part to find the expense. Then, subtract the expense from the earning (or, income) to get the savings.

The correct answer is: 50


    Step 1 of 2:
    Here, percent = 65% and whole = 3500.
    Now, 65% = 65 over 100 = 0.65
    Therefore, his expense = 65% of 3500 = 65 over 100 cross times 3500 = 2275
    So, he spends $2275 per month as expense.
    Step 2 of 2:
    Hence, his savings = Income - Expense = $3500 - $2275 = $1225
    Final Answer:
    He saves-- $1225 every month.
