Benny spent 15% of his salary on food and $440 on camera. Then he spent 30% of the remainder on clothes and saved the rest of his salary. He found that the amount he spent on clothes was $120 more than the amount he had spent on food.
(a) How much did he spend on food? Ans: $360
(b) How much did he save? Ans: $1120
30% r --> 15% + $120
70/30 x 15% = 35%
70/30 x 120 = $280
70% r --> 35% + $280
100% - 15% - 15% - 35% = 35%
35% --> 440 + 120 + 280 = $840
15% --> 15/35 x 840 = $360
a) He spent $360 on food.
840 + 280 = $1120
b) He saved $1120.
