The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down clearly: ### Step 1: Identify the percentages spent by Sohan Sohan spends the following percentages of his total amount: - Insurance policy: 23% - Food: 33% - Children's education: 19% - Recreation: 16% ### Step 2: Calculate the total percentage spent Add all the percentages together: \[ 23\% + 33\% + 19\% + 16\% = 91\% \] ### Step 3: Determine the remaining percentage Since the total percentage is 100%, the remaining percentage is: \[ 100\% - 91\% = 9\% \] ### Step 4: Relate the remaining percentage to the amount deposited We know that the remaining 9% corresponds to the amount deposited in the bank, which is ₹504. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 9\% = ₹504 \] ### Step 5: Find the total amount (let's call it T) To find the total amount (T), we can use the relationship: \[ 9\% \text{ of } T = 504 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ T = \frac{504 \times 100}{9} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the total amount Now, we calculate T: \[ T = \frac{504 \times 100}{9} = 5600 \] ### Step 7: Calculate the amounts spent on food and insurance Now that we have the total amount, we can find out how much Sohan spent on food and insurance: - Amount spent on insurance: \[ \text{Insurance} = 23\% \text{ of } 5600 = \frac{23}{100} \times 5600 = 1288 \] - Amount spent on food: \[ \text{Food} = 33\% \text{ of } 5600 = \frac{33}{100} \times 5600 = 1848 \] ### Step 8: Find the total amount spent on food and insurance together Now, we add the amounts spent on food and insurance: \[ \text{Total spent on food and insurance} = 1288 + 1848 = 3136 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the total amount Sohan spends on food and the insurance policy together is ₹3136. ---
