(b) What fraction of his monthly salary did he spend on his car loan and food? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! $4200 a month
$1260 is 30%
$850 went to loan
$2090 is left
-
2/5 of the last, or $836, went to food.
He saved $1254 a month
-
He spent $1686 on loan and food
1686/4200 is the unreduced fraction, or 281/700
This is 0.401 in decimal form
