A man spends 2/5 of his salary on house rent, 3/10 of his salary on food and 1/8 of his salary on conveyance. If he has rs:1400 left with him, find his expenditure on food?

Let the salary be x The difference bw his salary and expenditure is 1400. x - ( 2x/5 + 3x/10 + x/8) = 1400 x - (33x/40)= 1400 7x/40 = 1400 x = 8000

Expenditure for food = 8000 × 3/10 = 2400
