This is George's mostly expenditure
1. Spend 0,625 of his money on rent.
2. Spend 30% of his money on transport costs.
3. Spend 12/50 of his money on groceries.
If George earns R15 500 per month, calculate the total amount of money George spends on rent, transport, and groceries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If we calculate the sum of the parts
0.625 + 0.30 + 12/50 = 0.625 + 0.30 + 0.24 = 1.165
we will see that the sum of the disjoint parts is greater than a whole.
It seems to be absurdist and tells us that the input information is FATALLY DEFECTIVE.

The fundamental law of money conservation is violated.
So, the problem is only good to throw it into the closest garbage bin.
