A man spends 35% of his income on food, 25% on children's education and 80% of the remaining on house rent. What percent of his income he is left with ?
A) 6 %
B) 8 %
C) 10 %
D) 12 %
Answer: B) 8 %
Explanation:
Let the total income be x.
Then, income left = (100 - 80)% of [100 - (35 + 25)] % of x = 20% of 40% of x = [(20/100) * (40/100) * 100] % of x = 8 % of x.
