b) A man spends Rs 7,500 every month to run his family, which is [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] of his monthly income.

(i) Find his monthly income.

(ii) If he spends [tex] \frac{3}{25} [/tex] of his income on his children's education, how much money does he spend on education?



Answer :

Certainly! Let's address the problem step by step:

(i) Find his monthly income:

We know that the man spends Rs 7,500 every month to run his family and this expenditure represents [tex]\(\frac{1}{3}\)[/tex] part of his monthly income.

Let's denote his monthly income as [tex]\(I\)[/tex].

Given:
[tex]\[\text{Expenditure on family} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ of } I = 7500 \, \text{Rs}\][/tex]

To find the total monthly income [tex]\(I\)[/tex], we can set up the equation based on this information:

[tex]\[\frac{1}{3} I = 7,500\][/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for [tex]\(I\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[I = 7,500 \times 3\][/tex]

[tex]\[I = 22,500 \, \text{Rs}\][/tex]

So, his monthly income is Rs 22,500.

(ii) If he spends [tex]\(\frac{3}{25}\)[/tex] parts of his income on his children's education, how much money does he spend on education?

We now know his monthly income is Rs 22,500. He spends [tex]\(\frac{3}{25}\)[/tex] parts of this income on his children's education.

To find the amount spent on education, we'll calculate:

[tex]\[\text{Education expenditure} = \frac{3}{25} \times 22500\][/tex]

First, calculate [tex]\(\frac{3}{25}\)[/tex] as a decimal or fraction of 22500:

[tex]\[\text{Education expenditure} = \frac{3 \times 22500}{25}\][/tex]

Next, perform the multiplication and division:

[tex]\[\text{Education expenditure} = \frac{67500}{25}\][/tex]

[tex]\[\text{Education expenditure} = 2,700 \, \text{Rs}\][/tex]

Therefore, he spends Rs 2,700 on his children's education each month.
