Word problem 2
Problem 2: If a person as an average spends monthly Rs 230 for first 8 months and for next 4 months spends as an average per month Rs 180 – and also takes a loan of Rs 164 during the year. What was the total income ?
(basic mathematics for general public)
Solution:
Here average expenditure for 8 months = 230 Rs
Average expenditure for 4 months = 180 Rs
Loan = 164 Rs
Average Income ?
We calculate from above data;
Total expenditure for 8 months = 8×230 = 1844/- Rs
Total Expenditure for 4 months = 4×180=720/-Rs
Total Expenditure for the Year = 1844+720= 2564/- Rs
Now use formula ;
Total Expenditure = Total Income + Loan
==> 2564=Total Income-164
so, Total Income = 2564-164 = 2400/-Rs
Monthly Income (Average) = Total Income / Months in a year
=2400/12 = 200/-Rs
