Mr. Palahniuk spent 24% of his $1190 salary on groceries and deposited

$165 in his saving funds. What percentage of his salary is left?

Answer: 62.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Salary of Mr. Palahniuk = $1190

Percentage of Salary he spent on groceries = 24%=0.24

Amount he deposited in his saving funds = $165

Amount he spent on groceries = (Percentage of Salary he spent on groceries) x (Salary)

= (0.24) (1190)

= $ 285.6‬

Now, Money left = (Salary) - [ (Amount he deposited in his saving funds) + (Amount he spent on groceries) ]

= $1190-[$285.6‬+$165]

= $1190 - $450.6

=$739.4

Percentage of his salary is left = (Money left) : (Salary) x 100

= (739.4) : (1190) x 100

≈62.13%

Hence, the percentage of his salary is left = 62.13%
