Rita had Rs. 32000 per month. She spent 1/3 of her money on note books and 1/4 of the remainder on stationary items. How much money is left with her?

She has Rs 16,000 left with her

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with calculating how much money is left with Rita after spending the fraction of her monthly income on the things given in the question.

Firstly, she spent 1/3 of this amount on books;

Amount spent on books is thus 32,000/3 = 10,666.67

she spent a quarter of the remainder on stationary items.

Amount spent on stationary items is 1/4 * (32,000 - 10,666.67)

= 1/4 * (21,333.33)

= 5,333.3325

The amount of money left with her is just simply calculated by subtracting the amount she has spent from the initial amount she had

Mathematically, that would be 32,000 - (10,666.67 + 5,333.325) = approximately Rs. 16,000
