Juma spent half of his July

Sagot :

The total salary juma receives for the month of July before the deductions is sh. 12,800

Amount of earnings

Let

  • Total salary = x
  • Amount spent on school fees = 1/2x
  • Amount spent on farming = 1/8x

School fees + farming = 1/2x + 1/8x

= 4x+x/8

= 5/8x

Amount remaining = x - 5/8x

=8x-5x /8

= 3/8x

Amount spent on food = 2/3 × 3/8x

= 6/24x

= 1/4x

So,

1/4x = sh.3200

x = 3200 ÷ 1/4

x = 3200 × 4

x = sh. 12,800
