Kinyua spent 1/4 of his net salary on school fees. He spent 1/4 of the remainder on electricity and water bills. He spent 1/9 of what remained on transport. If he finally has she. 8400 calculate his total salary

Let his net salary = x.

He spent 1/4th of x on School fees

Remainder = 1-1/4 = 3x/4

He spent 1/4th THE REMAINDER on Electricity and Water Bils

1/4 of remainder (3x/4) = 1/4 x 3x/4 = 3x/16

He spent 3x/16 of this salary on Electricity and Water Bills... We should subtract this to know our current value or cash at hand

New Remainder = 3x/4 - 3x/16

= 9x/16.

He spent 1/9th OF WHAT REMAINED ON TRANSPORT.

1/9 x 9x/16

=x/16

New Remainder

= 9x/16 - x/16

=x/2.

If he finally had 8,400

Then

x/2=8,400

x=2x8,400

x= 16,800.

This answer is Correct. You can check it by using our x as 16,800 and solve from the start... You'll arrive at 8400 as your remainder. Have a great day!!!

b). 4320 have a nice day
