A man spends 25% of his salary on rent and 15% on groceries. If his salary is $4,000, how much does he spend on rent?
Correct Answer: 1000
  • Step 1: Identify the man's salary, which is $4,000.
  • Step 2: Determine the percentage of salary spent on rent, which is 25%.
  • Step 3: Convert the percentage to a fraction: 25% = 25/100.
  • Step 4: Multiply the fraction by the salary to find the amount spent on rent: (25/100) * 4000.
  • Step 5: Calculate the multiplication: 25 * 4000 = 100000, then divide by 100: 100000 / 100 = 1000.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the man spends $1,000 on rent.
