Question

Answer

And other expenses. This means that he spends 1/3 on food, 1/3 on clothes, and 1/3 on other expenses.

For example, if his income is $900, he would spend $300 on food, $300 on clothes, and $300 on other expenses.

Alternatively, if he spends a certain amount on one category, we can calculate the percentage of his income that he spends on that category.

For instance, if he spends $200 on clothes, we can calculate that as a percentage of his income:

$200 / $900 = 0.22

So he spends 22% of his income on clothes.
