Rita spends 52% of her pocket money on magazines and 23% on movies. if her pocket money was rs.144 what amount of her pocket money is left

The amount of Rita's pocket money left is Rs. 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pocket money that Rita had before = 144

Money spent for magazines = 52% of 144

=

= 0.52(144)

= 74.88

Money spent for movies = 23% of 144

=

= 0.23(144)

= 33.12

Money left with Rita = 144 - (74.88 + 33.12)

= 144 - 108

= 36

Hence, Rita left with Rs. 36.

Aliter:

Total money spent = (52 + 23)% = 75%

So, money left with Rita = 100 - 75 = 25%

25% of 144 = 0.25(144) = 36.
